[PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced version
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.
Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.
There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.
This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.
The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.
As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.

[PATCH] cciss: double put_disk()
This undoes the put_disk patch I sent in before.
If I had been paying attention I would have seen that we call put_disk
from free_hba during driver unload. That's the only time we want to
call it. If it's called from deregister disk we may remove the
controller (cNd0) unintentionally.

[PATCH] kprobes: fix race in aggregate kprobe registration
When registering multiple kprobes at the same address, we leave a small
window where the kprobe hlist will not contain a reference to the
registered kprobe, leading to potentially, a system crash if the breakpoint
is hit on another processor.
Patch below now automically relpace the old kprobe with the new
kprobe from the hash list.

[PATCH] Add timestamp field to process events
This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event
connector. The timestamp allows listeners to accurately account the
duration(s) between a process' events and offers strong means with which
to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also
avoiding the addition of per-task data.
This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would
break compatibility if process events connector as it stands in 2.6.15-rc2
were released as a mainline kernel.
