Bug #6944 might be related to this one, so I'd not include it in
2.6.16-stable.
Actually,
libata incorrectly passes NULL arguments to sg_set_buf, which
crashes on powerpc64 when looking for the corresponding mem_section.
This introduces a new ata_exec_nodma() wrapper that takes no buffer
arguments and does not call sg_set_buf either. In order to make it
easier to detect this sort of

In fact I think more things have LL/SC than have CMPXCHG.
But you cannot expose ll/sc to C, so that's a bogus argument.
If you do ll/sc, you need to program in assembly language.

system when the alsa modules are loaded. Unloading and reloading the
modules will generate another pop.

Use new PCI read tuning interface. This makes sure driver doesn't
run into PCI chipset errata problems now or in future.

Greetings,
I just got a kernel crash when shutting down a webserver. Nothing made
it to the logs, but I managed to get a photo of the dump on screen :
binutils-2.17.50.0.8-1.i686
gcc-4.2.0-0.20061206r119598.2.i686
Hmm, that's not even a release -- afaik gcc 4.2 isn't out yet.
Can you please do
make arch/i386/math-emu/fpu_entry.i
make arch/i386/math-emu/fpu_entry.s
and send me the resulting .i and .s files privately?
