[PATCH] ppc64: Add missing section definition

For a laugh we moved the BSS and our world exploded. Turns out we zero
from __bss_start to _end. Add __bss_stop to our section definitions so
we can use it instead.

[PATCH] don't clear i_sb
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
JFS currently clears i_sb in some error pathes which can make the
core kernel OOPS because it may never be NULL. Noticed because some
IBM people try to "fix" the core kernel for it now..

[PATCH] ia32 sched_clock() deadlock fix
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>,
Voyager is getting odd deadlocks due to the taking of xtime_lock() in
sched_clock()->get_jiffies_64().
I had this patch queued up to fix a different deadlock, which occurs when we
relax the requirement that TSC's be synchronised across CPUs. But it will
fix James' deadlock too.

[PATCH] JFS fix for NFS on little-endian systems
From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com>
After Jose debugged the problem down to the routine jfs_get_parent, we
were able to find the problem. I believe it only affects users of
NFS-exported JFS file systems on big-endian hardware.
The problem was a missing le32_to_cpu macro. The patch also fixes a
return code to be more consistent other implementations of get_parent.

[PATCH] Fix PnP BIOS call
The recent escd fix I have made corrects a thinko in the PnPBIOS code and it
turns out that faults from calling /proc/pnp/bus/escd were probably not caused
by BIOS bugs.
Fix for oops on rmmod caused by *_remove() function marked as __devinit
(and thus discarded after module initialization - if CONFIG_MODULES=y
and CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set).
This patch changes __devinit to __devexit and adds __devexit_p() where
pointer to such function is used.
The only exception is au1000, where au1000_remove() is called from
cleanup_au1000() function - __devinit is jest removed there.
This fixes BUG-on-swapout for srmmu-based systems. The problem is
caused by kmap_atomic_to_page being fed an aliased (pagetable) address
and returning bogons. This also adjusts the pkmap and fixmap base
addresses so they cannot overlap.
This patch for 2.6 fixes the problem found by Zoltan Farkas
with mixed PCI/ISA and a non-modular config. The problem is the old_netdev
ISA probing isn't skipping eth0 which already got assigned by the PCI
initialization.

[ARM] Fix cachepolicy=<foo>
On ARM, it is possible to configure the desired cache policy in

this oversight.

[SERIAL] EISA ID for PnP modem
Patch from: Amit Gurdasani
I have a PROLiNK 1456VH internal Rockwell-based ISA PnP K56flex fax modem
whose EISA ID seems not to be known to 8250_pnp.c. The ID is AEI0250 as
reported in /sys/devices/pnp1/01:01/01:01.00/id and adding this into the
pnp_dev_table[] allows the device to be found and enabled properly by the
8250 serial driver.

Fix IDE "PIO WRITE wait for ready" test under extreme interrupt load.
From Daniel Tram Lux: under extreme irq load on an underpowered CPU,
the timeout loop may not make any progress, and decide that a timeout
occurred before it has actually tested the status register.
The minimal fix for now is to just have a final test _after_ the timeout
to remove the problem. The real fix would likely be to not have irqs
enabled between reading the status and the timeout.

The resource handling left in autoconfig() is plainly wrong, since
we've already claimed the necessary resources prior to calling
