[NET]: Simply net_ratelimit().
Reimplement net_ratelimit() in terms of the new printk_ratelimit().
As net_ratelimit() already has it own sysctls we generalise
printk_ratelimit() a bit so that networking does not lose its existing
sysctls and so that it can use different time constants from the more generic
printk_ratelimit().
[NET]: Support for lots of netdevs -- faster dev_alloc_name
Convert dev_alloc_name from O(n^2) lookup to O(n) by using a page as
bitmap to figure out how many devices of that pattern have been allocated.
This works for up to 32k devices (PAGE_SIZE*8) on i386, more on other
platforms. Correctly handles the boundary cases where number of devices
won't fit because name length is limited.
Adds strnchr to the string libraries since we need to find the % format
character, but only care if it is in the first 15 bytes.

[PATCH] Add P1/P2 programmable keys to the sonypi driver.

This patch enables sonypi to successfully report P1/P2 programmable keys

Note however that sonypi is unable to distinguish between the two events,
both of them will be reported as SONYPI_EVENT_PKEY_P1, but one event is
better than zero, so there it is.

[PATCH] ext2/3: incorrect increment of i_blocks when keeping the same xattr block
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
Here is a fix for extended attributes on ext2 and ext3, reported by
Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com>.
From: Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com>:
When you have an EA block that is shared between multiple inodes; AND you
then change an attribute in that on one inode, AND the new attribute value
is the same as the old, then xattr computes the new EA block, finds it
still in the cache, bumps the reference count on it (and the i_blocks field
on the inode, incidentally), and leaves it incremented because we haven't
changed EA block so there's no need to drop the refcount on the old block.
So *every* time you have more than one inode sharing an EA block and you
perform an identical write to an EA, you get a leak on both i_blocks and
the EA refcount.
This is a big problem for symlinks, which rely on correct i_blocks
accounting to determine the difference between fast and slow symlinks.
With the leak, you end up thinking that a fast symlink (ie. one small
enough to be stored in the inode direct blocks) is slow, so you dereference
the ascii contents of the symlink as if they were a disk block address.
That typically results in EIO all over the place.

[PATCH] ppc64: Add readq/writeq and __raw* IO functions

This patch adds those for ppc64, except for iSeries which cannot do
readq/writeq easily, at least not as far as I know but I need to ask the
iSeries specialists in Rochester to be sure. But anyway, iSeries shouldn't
use anything in fb.h anyway ...
It also add the proper tweaks & barriers to make sure reads are actually
done right away and not delayed indefinitely (making the CPU think the read
data is actually used) and add necessary write barriers on IO writes. For
some reasons, ppc64 in 2.6 lacked some of these, opening potential races
within some drivers.
