Hi
I dislike the behavior of the SCHED_ISO patch that iso tasks are
degraded to SCHED_NORMAL if they exceed the limit.
IMHO it's better to throttle them at the iso_cpu limit.
I have modified Con's iso2 patch to do this. If iso_cpu > 50 iso tasks
only get stalled for 1 tick (1ms on x86).

This is the first time I've used our automated tools to make small patches
out of big ones, but I think I have it figured out now.
Thanks for your patience.

There was no oops. The panic() in oom_kill.c was triggered.

* pointers to a SCSI host and a drive are added to idescsi_scsi_t
* pointer to the SCSI host is stored in disk->private_data
* ide_scsi_{get,put}() is used to {get,put} reference to the SCSI host
Unfortunately this is not complete fix for ->open() vs ->cleanup()
race, there are two TODO items

Yes, it would. Or at least some better granularity leading up to

The following is an edited output of dmesg, for a dual Xeon running 2.6.9:

Some rare races between ide-default and ide-disk are possible, i.e.:
* ide-default is used, I/O request is triggered (ie. /proc/ide/hd?/identify),
drive->special is cleared silently (so CHS is not initialized properly),
ide-disk is loaded and fails if drive uses CHS
* ide-disk is used, drive
Since there are no Promise binary drivers for 2.6.x kernels:
* ignore BIOS enable bits completely
* remove CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE
* kill IDEPCI_FLAG_FORCE_PDC hack

ATAPI devices ignore DRDY bit so drive->ready_stat must be set to zero.
It is currently done by device drivers (including ide-default fake driver)
but for PMAC driver it is too late as wait_for_ready() may be called during
probe: probe_hwif()->pmac_ide_dma_check()->pmac_ide_{mdma,udma}_enable()->
This patch fixes a race between the CMOS clock setting and the NMI
code. The NMI code indiscriminatly sets index registers and values
in the same place the CMOS clock is set. If you are setting the
CMOS clock and an NMI occurs, Bad values could be written to or
read from the CMOS RAM, or the
