61b1a94254 [PATCH] ppc64: Store virtual address in TLB flush batches
This patch slightly change the TLB flush batch mecanism so that we
store the full vaddr (including vsid) when adding an entry to the
batch so that the flush part doesn't have to get to the context.

This cleans it a bit, and paves the way to future updates like
dynamic vsids.

There are potential cases in the future where the IOMMU might be
mapping smaller pages than the regular MMU is using. Keep the
allocator working on MMU pagesizes, but the low-level mapping
functions need to map more than one TCE entry per page to deal with
this.

40abc27066 [BOND]: Fix bond_init() error path handling.
From: Florin Malita <fmalita@gmail.com>

bond_init() is not releasing rtnl_sem after register_netdevice() and before
calling unregister_netdevice() (from bond_free_all()) in the exception
path.  As the device registration is not completed (dev->reg_state ==
NETREG_REGISTERING), the call to unregister_netdevice() triggers
BUG_ON(dev->reg_state != NETREG_REGISTERED).

e61c0e336f [PATCH] dell_rbu: enhancements and fixes
BUG fixes:

  The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been
  fixed in this patch.

  The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid
  entry in image_type.  The fix is to only print a warning message and not
  the buffer.

Usability enhancements:

  It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
  entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following

	echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
	echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading

  This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the
  only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver.

  This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to
  image_type.

This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.

2030c0fd3d [PATCH] PR_GET_DUMPABLE returns incorrect info
2.6.13 incorporated Alan Cox's patch for /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable (one
version of this patch can be found here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ).

This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the
prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was
modified from 0..1 to 0..2.

However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the
dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that
the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.
