You're right, thanks

This patch fixes the link order for asb100 sensors chip driver.
This patch adds support for the ASB100 Bach sensor chip, which
is found on some Asus mainboards. The port corresponds to
lm_sensors CVS revision 1.5. The patch applies to and was tested
against 2.6.1-rc1.

OK, I don't have much time for a mass conversion anyway. Greg, could you
please apply the following patch to the "porting-clients" document so
that at least the new drivers don't need to be converted afterwards?

Fix subtle fork() race that Ingo noticed.
We must not mark the process TASK_STOPPED early, because
that might allow a signal to wake it up before we actually
got to the "wake_up_forked_process()" state. Total confusion
would happen.
Make wake_up_forked_process() verify the new world order.

[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.
