2008-01-23[SCSI] aacraid: add Voodoo Lite class of cards.Salyzyn, Mark
The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access. We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage the controller.

2008-01-09[POWERPC] Xilinx: Update booting-without-of.Stephen Neuendorffer
This now better describes what the UBoot device tree generator actually does. In particular: 1) Nodes have a label derived from the device name, and a node name derived from a generic version of the device type, e.g. 'ethernet', 'serial', etc. 2) Usage of compound nodes (representing more than one device in the same IP) which actually works. This requires having a valid compatible node, and all the other things that a bus normally has. I've chosen 'xlnx,compound' as the bus name to describe these compound nodes. In addition, I've clarified some of the language relating to how mhs nodes should be represent in the device tree.

2008-01-08[IPV4] ipconfig: Fix regression in ip command line processingAmos Waterland
The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems but unfortunately broke some common usage scenarios. In current 2.6.24-rc6 the following command line results in no IP address assignment, which is surely a regression: ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off Please find below a patch that works for all cases I can find.

2007-12-26[IPV4]: Fix ip command line processing.Simon Horman
Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the latter is ignored and the default (on) is used. This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion. But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration. This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on) is the default. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
