[PATCH] v4l: bttv driver update
This updates the bttv driver. It depends on the videobuf patch.
* usual tv card list updates.
* sysfs adaptions.
* new, experimental i2c adapter code for bt878 chips
(not used by default yet).
* various minor fixes.

[PATCH] v4l: videobuf update
This updates the videobuf module used by the bttv, saa7134 and saa7146
drivers.
Changes:
* adds support for overlays (i.e. PCI-PCI DMA transfers).
* adds support for userspace DMA.
* fixes bug in the read() helper function (catch I/O errors).

[ACPI] Summary of changes for ACPICA version 20031002:
Fixed a problem with Index Fields where the index was not incremented
for fields that require multiple writes to the index/data registers
(Fields that are wider than the data register.)
Fixed a problem with all Field objects where a write could go beyond the
end-of-field if the field was larger than the access granularity and
therefore required multiple writes to complete the request. An extra
write beyond the end of the field could happen inadvertently.
Fixed a problem with Index Fields where a BUFFER_OVERFLOW error would
incorrectly be returned if the width of the Data Register was larger
than the specified field access width.
Completed fixes for LoadTable() and Unload() and verified their
operation. Implemented full support for the "DdbHandle" object
throughout the ACPI CA subsystem.
Implemented full support for the MADT and ECDT tables in the ACPI CA
header files. Even though these tables are not directly consumed by
ACPI CA, the header definitions are useful for ACPI device drivers.
Integrated resource descriptor fixes posted to the Linux ACPI list.
This included checks for minimum descriptor length, and support for
trailing NULL strings within descriptors that have optional string
elements.
Fixed a problem where the SMI_CMD register could be written even if it
was not supported on the platform (when FADT.SMI_CMD is zero)

[PATCH] cpufreq for x86-64
Reuses the i386 cpufreq code and add an notifier to the x86-64
timer code to track frequency changes.
All previous criticism of earlier patches should be addressed:
- it doesn't touch i386 now
- Doesn't include the ACPI P states driver anymore following brodo's request.

[PATCH] UID16 fixes
This fixes CONFIG_UID16 problems on x86-64 as discussed earlier.
CONFIG_UID16 now only selects the inclusion of kernel/uid16.c, all
conversions are triggered dynamically based on type sizes. This allows
x86-64 to both include uid16.c for emulation purposes, but not truncate
uids to 16bit in sys_newstat.
- Replace the old macros from linux/highuid.h with new SET_UID/SET_GID
macros that do type checking. Based on Linus' proposal.
- Fix everybody to use them.
- Clean up some cruft in the x86-64 32bit emulation allowed by this
(other 32bit emulations could be cleaned too, but I'm too lazy for
that right now)
- Add one missing EOVERFLOW check in x86-64 32bit sys_newstat while
I was at it.
there's one call to strncpy() in vfat that really should be a memcpy().
The source, msdos_name, is a space-filled char array, not a
NUL-terminated string.
The rest of the patch eliminates duplicate occurencies of the
CURRENT_TIME macro inside functions. This shrinks vfat.o by a few
bytes.

[PATCH] Fix sysrq-t free stack output
It seems that we're attempting to work out the free stack size using two
unrelated pointers for the lowest address of the stack. Fix this to use
the correct pointer.
- Remove dynamic allocation of major numbers. Just use static major 94.
- Use bus_id instead of device number where possible.
- Don't check open_count in dasd_generic_set_offline.
- Remove atomic_read hack to test for presence of ccw device directory.
- Add dummy release function to channel path object and cu3088 group devices.
- Don't rely on the chaining bit of the channel report word.
- Don't call schedule while holding a lock in read_dev_chars/read_conf_data.
- Makefile fix: default make target builds the kernel image.
- Add export statement for cpcmd.
- Add tgkill system call.
- Reserve system call number for vserver.

[SERIAL] removing legacy UART cruft
I'm trying to remove all the legacy UART cruft from ia64. In theory
we should be able to discover all UARTs on ia64 via ACPI and PCI
enumeration, so we shouldn't need SERIAL_PORT_DFNS.
But SERIAL_PORT_DFNS currently does two things:
1) it tells you about legacy devices you can't discover
via a standard enumeration method, and
2) it sizes old_serial_port[], which determines UART_NR,
which is the maximum number of ports the driver will
support
So here's a proposal to make SERIAL_PORT_DFNS optional and
provide another mechanism for configuring the number of ports
to support.
