mv643xx_eth: Fix race condition in mv643xx_eth_free_tx_descs
This bug was found and isolated by Thibaut VARENE <T-Bone@parisc-linux.org>
and Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@o2.pl>. This patch is a modification of their
fixes. We acquire and release the lock for each descriptor that is freed
to minimize the time the lock is held.

SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target
TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first SMTC prototypes, these
queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the
kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of
local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the
option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even
under heavy I/O interrupt load.

The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it
doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA,
the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA.
The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but
everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id. The basically kills
voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so
voyager currently won't boot without this.
The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

move the bounce trace into __blk_queue_bounce(), when we know there will
actually be page bouncing.

In appendix a patch for the nokia 6233 mobile phone is included.
The patch is against 2.6.20-rc5. It is my first patch. Hopefully it has
the right format. The code makes my nokia 6233 on my computer work.

Rewrite Documentation/pci.txt:
o restructure document to match how API is used when writing init code.
o update to reflect changes in struct pci_driver function pointers.
o removed language on "new style vs old style" device discovery.
"Old style" is now deprecated. Don't use it. Left description in
to document existing driver behaviors.
o add section "Legacy I/O Port free driver" by Kenji Kaneshige
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/22/25
(renamed to "pci_enable_device_bars() and Legacy I/O Port space")
o add "MMIO space and write posting" section to help avoid common pitfall
when converting drivers from IO Port space to MMIO space.
Orignally posted http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/27/24
o many typo/grammer/spelling corrections from Randy Dunlap
o two more spelling corrections from Stephan Richter
o fix CodingStyle as per Randy Dunlap

The previous patch 'Repair snd-usb-usx2y for usb 2.6.18' assumed
urb->start_frame roll over beyond MAX_INT for both UHCI & OHCI.
This isn't true until now (kernel 2.6.20).
Fix this by only looking at the common between OHCI & UHCI Frame number
range.
This is for mainline and stable kernels >= 2.6.18.

With the following patch, my HighPoint 2310 with a Marvell 88SX7042 on
it seems to work OK.
The controller only has 4 ports, with MV_FLAG_DUAL_HC it seems to init 8
ports and fails miserably at probe time. There are no other devices mapped
to that chip, maybe it was just incorrectly specified in the first place?

The local versions of phy_read() and phy_write() in ucc_geth_phy.c conflict
with the prototypes in include/linux/phy.h, so this patch renames them,
moves them to the top of the file (while eliminating the redundant prototype),
and makes them static.

ocfs2 wasn't updating c/mtime on directories during dirent
creation/deletion. Fix ocfs2_unlink(), ocfs2_rename() and
__ocfs2_add_entry() by adding the proper code to update the struct inode and
push the change out to disk.
This helps rename/unlink on nfs exported file systems in particular as those
clients compare directory time values to avoid a full re-reading a directory
which hasn't changed.
ocfs2_rename() loses some superfluous error handling as a result of this
patch.
