This fixes a couple of bugs in arch/ppc64/kernel/prom.c. We were
missing a couple of places where we needed to use RELOC(). I added the
RELOC in one case, and in the other, moved the variable that we were
accessing onto the stack (and reduced its size). (We use the variable
to get a property value, but we aren't interested in the value, just in
whether the property exists or not. Since we pass the size of the
variable to the OF getprop call, it won't overflow.) The effect of
missing the RELOCs would be that random memory locations get used on IBM
pSeries systems (possibly causing random boot failures).
The other thing that this does is add a linux,phandle property to each
node, containing the phandle for the node, which is the token that OF
uses to identify the node. Some nodes reference other nodes by means
of their phandle. Without the linux,phandle property, userspace code
looking at the OF device-tree image in /proc/device-tree has no way of
knowing which other node is being referenced.

[PATCH] Improve `make checkstack'
On i386, stack usually grows with "sub $0x8,%esp" and shrinks with
"add $0x8,%esp" respectively. In some cases, though, stack grows with
"add $0xffffff80,%esp" and shrinks with "sub $0xffffff80,%esp".
Obviously, we don't want to miss those cases.
Since in either case add and sub seem to be balanced and contain the
same parameter, we don't need a second regex. We simply accept hex
numbers of up to 8 digits and treat them as negative numbers when the
sub appears to be a little too high.
...or so I thought. But another day of testing proved me wrong again.
Some functions do stuff like "sub $0x10,%esp", ..., "add $0x20,%esp".
In other words, add and sub are *NOT* balanced. Manual inspection
showed that 0x20 is a more realistic number, so I accept either
variant, just in case. We pay for this with a bunch of duplicates in
our output, but that beats missing some stack hogs.
In the long run, this script has to be replaced by gcc options,
really. Looking at the result and guessing back is such a stupid
idea.

have these cards.
- Allow the chip_name to be overridden in tulip_init_one().
- Fix some indentation.

This happens because `hw' is only used when CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI is not set.
As `hw' is used only to have the code readable, we can use it for
!CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI too.

[PCMCIA] Fix up SOC PCMCIA socket timing calculations
The timing calculations used by the PXA platforms did not always take
account of the timings handed to us by PCMCIA, and where it did, it
assumed IO timings for memory windows.
We fix this, and provide a generic function which calculates the
required timings (in nanoseconds) for IO, memory and attribute
windows. The SOC drivers only have to convert this information to
whatever format the hardware requires to achieve at least these
timing parameters.

[PATCH] Avoid excessive stack usage in NFS
Assigning '*wdata' with a dynamic initializer creates a
temporary structure copy on the stack, and then the final
data is initialized with a "memcpy()".
As a result, these NFS functions use more than 800 bytes
of stack-space.
Changing the code to just do a memset followed by explicit
initialization of the non-zero member variables takes the
stack usage down to 36 bytes.

That's pretty much it as far as non-trivial splitting counts; remaining
patches in net/* are independent, tty and console stuff is also not hard to
split (not much of it, anyway) and what remains is arch-dependent code for
alpha and amd64. Of course there'll be more stuff coming, but as far as I'm
concerned the rest of my pile is managable - and finally below 200Kb. That'll
go tomorrow - right now I'm going down and getting some sleep...
