This patch automatically enables pci=bfsort for the Dell PowerEdge
R900. This is necessary to ensure the onboard NICs enumerate in the
proper order, similar to the other systems already on the list.
I'd appreciate this being applied before 2.6.21-final if possible.

I've been seeing some odd NTP behavior recently on a few boxes and
finally narrowed it down to time_offset overflowing when converted to
SHIFT_UPDATE units (which was a side effect from my HZfreeNTP patch).
This patch converts time_offset from a long to a s64 which resolves the
issue.

We've seen these here and had arrived at a similar patch. Extensive prints

Introduce /dev/hugetlb device that behaves similar to /dev/zero for
allocating anonymous hugetlb page. It is especially beneficial that
application developers can have an easy way to create MAP_PRIVATE
hugetlb mappings without all the fuss about the hugetlbfs filesystem.

The segment register slots in struct pt_regs are padded to 32 bits.
Some of these are stored with instructions like "pushl %es", which
leaves the high 16 bits as they were. So the high bits of these
fields in struct pt_regs contain kernel stack garbage. These bits are
ignored by everything and

Why do you need that? Just have the driver always report all 3 events

WHY I"M ASKING THIS QUESTION:
I'm implementing some gpio calls in the ep93xx arch.
My problem is that gpio's are really board specific, not just mach specific.
I can code the function calls into my board init, but where should these
functions be prototyped?
Ideally, I think the compiler should

Speaking of which, I wonder... Here, and in many other places.
If some variable is marked as MODULE_PARAM (or whatever it is called
nowadays), used in module init routine, AND subsequently used

This fixes a problem seen by a number of people running UML on newer host
kernels. init would hang with an infinite segfault loop.
It turns out that the host kernel was providing a AT_SYSINFO_EHDR of
0xe000, which faked UML into believing that the host VDSO page could be
