1b2becffee alpha: fix objstrip.c compilation warnings
In current 2.6.23-rc1+git, make bootimage gives the following warnings while
compiling objstrip.c.  The patch below fixes these warnings by casting strncmp
argument to char * - it does not seem feasible to change its type in struct
elfhdr.

aeb3f46252 alpha: fix mkbb compilation warnings

57d4810ea0 revert "x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices"
Revert 7e92b4fc34.  It broke Sébastien Dugué's
machine and Jeff said (persuasively)

  This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of
  breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS."

  It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO.  Serial ports are something
  that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game.  My new Intel
  platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
  messing with serial port probing even more...  because...  just wait a year,
  and your box won't have a serial port either!  :)

  I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),
  but the probe change seems questionable.  That's sorta analagous to
  rewriting the floppy driver probe routine.  Sure you could do it...  but why
  risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?

  It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for
  something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade.

Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.

4a4b88317a knfsd: eliminate unnecessary -ENOENT returns on export downcalls
A succesful downcall with a negative result (which indicates that the given
filesystem is not exported to the given user) should not return an error.

Currently mountd is depending on stdio to write these downcalls.  With some
versions of libc this appears to cause subsequent writes to attempt to write
all accumulated data (for which writes previously failed) along with any new
data.  This can prevent the kernel from seeing responses to later downcalls.
Symptoms will be that nfsd fails to respond to certain requests.

749997e512 knfsd: set the response bitmask for NFS4_CREATE_EXCLUSIVE
RFC 3530 says:

 If the server uses an attribute to store the exclusive create verifier, it
 will signify which attribute by setting the appropriate bit in the attribute
 mask that is returned in the results.

Linux uses the atime and mtime to store the verifier, but sends a zeroed out
bitmask back to the client.  This patch makes sure that we set the correct
bits in the bitmask in this situation.

a8bbf72ab9 Do not trigger OOM-killer for high-order allocation failures
out_of_memory() may be called when an allocation is failing and the direct
reclaim is not making any progress.  This does not take into account the
requested order of the allocation.  If the request if for an order larger
than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER, it is reasonable to fail the allocation
because the kernel makes no guarantees about those allocations succeeding.

This false OOM situation can occur if a user is trying to grow the hugepage
pool in a script like;

#!/bin/bash
REQUIRED=$1
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/hugepages_treat_as_movable
echo $REQUIRED > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
ACTUAL=`cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages`
while [ $REQUIRED -ne $ACTUAL ]; do
	echo Huge page pool at $ACTUAL growing to $REQUIRED
	echo $REQUIRED > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
	ACTUAL=`cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages`
	sleep 1
done

This is a reasonable scenario when ZONE_MOVABLE is in use but triggers OOM
easily on 2.6.23-rc1. This patch will fail an allocation for an order above
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER instead of killing processes and retrying.

45c876bf12 Fix uninitialized local variable "covered" in i386 acpi-cpufreq driver
The local variable "covered" is used without initialization in i386
acpi-cpufreq driver.  The initial value of covered should be 0.  The bug
will cause memory leak when hit.  The following patch fixes this bug.

313674afa8 [NET]: ethtool_perm_addr only has one implementation
All drivers implement ethtool get_perm_addr the same way -- by calling
the generic function.  So we can inline the generic function into the
caller and avoid going through the drivers.

61a44b9c4b [NET]: ethtool ops are the only way
During the transition to the ethtool_ops way of doing things, we supported
calling the device's ->do_ioctl method to allow unconverted drivers to
continue working.  Those days are long behind us, all in-tree drivers
use the ethtool_ops way, and so we no longer need to support this.

The bonding driver is the biggest beneficiary of this; it no longer
needs to call ioctl() as a fallback if ethtool_ops aren't supported.

Also put a proper copyright statement on ethtool.c.
