[PATCH] orinoco: fix BAP0 offset error after several days of operation
After several days of operation of Netgear MA311 card, the card becomes
to seek improperly and needs reset. This patch tries to reset the card
when this situation occurs.

[PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmem
Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once.
In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a
migratepage address space op. Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to
default processing. In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages.
Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so
migrate_pages() will try to page it out. However, because the page count
is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because
is_page_cache_freeable() returns false. This will abort all subsequent
migrations.
This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to
avoid taking the default path. We use the "migrate_page()" function
because it knows how to migrate dirty pages. This allows shared memory
segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's
referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested.
I think this is safe. If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we
found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

[PATCH] powerpc: Lower threshold for DART enablement to 1GB
Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled
devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting
30-bit DMA addresses.
Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually
enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good.
Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of
enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O
as well as over NFS).
iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the
overhead (and don't need it for any devices).

Correct the base address of the Realtek RTL8019AS chip on the Toshiba RBTX4938
board -- this should make the driver work at least when CONFIG_PCI is enabled.

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

The irq2gpio array was recently converted from an array of ints to an
array of chars (by patch 3368/1.) However, this array contains elements
that are -1, and on ARM, the char type is unsigned by default, so this
patch broke the GPIO check in ixp4xx_set_irq_type.
Change the 'char' to be a 'signed char' to fix this.

[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes
AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.
This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.
The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.
This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.
I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.
Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.
Patch for both i386/x86-64.
The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.
