2006-12-07[PATCH] IPMI: pass sysfs name from lower level driverCorey Minyard
Pass in the sysfs name from the lower-level IPMI driver, as the coming IPMI serial driver will need that to link properly from the serial device sysfs directory.

2006-12-07[PATCH] IPMI: Fix device model nameCorey Minyard
Add the product id to the driver model platform device name, in addition to the device id. The IPMI spec does not require that individual BMCs in a system have unique devices IDs, but it does require that the product id/device id combination be unique. This also removes a redundant check and cleans up error handling when the sysfs registration fails.

2006-12-07[PATCH] generic HDLC synclink config mismatch fixPaul Fulghum
Fix compile errors on mismatch between generic HDLC and synclink drivers. Notes: generic HDLC support for synclink drivers is *optional* so you can't just use depend on in Kconfig This solution is deemed the best after 7 months of review and criticism by many developers including AKPM.

2006-12-07[PATCH] dz: Fixes to make it workMaciej W. Rozycki
This a set of fixes mostly to make the driver actually work: 1. Actually select the line for setting parameters and receiver disable/enable. 2. Select the line for receive and transmit interrupt handling correctly. 3. Report the transmitter empty state correctly. 4. Set the I/O type of ports correctly. 5. Perform polled transmission correctly. 6. Don't fix the console line at ttyS3. 7. Magic SysRq support. 8. Various small bits here and there.

2006-12-07[PATCH] Correct misc_register return code handling in several driversNeil Horman
Clean up several code points in which the return code from misc_register is not handled properly. Several modules failed to deregister various hooks when misc_register fails, and this patch cleans them up. Also there are a few modules that legitimately don't care about the failure status of misc register. These drivers however unilaterally call misc_deregister on module unload. Since misc_register doesn't initialize the list_head in the init_routine if it fails, the deregister operation is at risk for oopsing when list_del is called. The initial solution was to manually init the list in the miscdev structure in each of those modules, but the consensus in this thread was to consolodate and do that universally inside misc_register.

2006-11-22[AGP] Allocate AGP pages with GFP_DMA32 by defaultLinus Torvalds
Not all graphic page remappers support physical addresses over the 4GB mark for remapping, so while some do (the AMD64 GART always did, and I just fixed the i965 to do so properly), we're safest off just forcing GFP_DMA32 allocations to make sure graphics pages get allocated in the low 32-bit address space by default. AGP sub-drivers that really care, and can do better, could just choose to implement their own allocator (or we could add another "64-bit safe" default allocator for their use), but quite frankly, you're not likely to care in practice. So for now, this trivial change means that we won't be allocating pages that we can't map correctly by mistake on x86-64. [ On traditional 32-bit x86, this could never happen, because GFP_KERNEL would never allocate any highmem memory anyway ] Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Acked-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Cc: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
