This patch randomizes the port selected on bind() for connections
to help with possible security attacks. It should also be faster
in most cases because there is no need for a global lock.

Change netem to support packets getting reordered because of variations in
delay. Introduce a special case version of FIFO that queues packets in order
based on the netem delay.
Since netem is classful, those users that don't want jitter based reordering
can just insert a pfifo instead of the default.
This required changes to generic skbuff code to allow finer grain manipulation
of sk_buff_head. Insertion into the middle and reverse walk.

Re-jig the simple platform device support to allow private data
to be attached to a platform device, as well as allowing the
parent device to be set.
Example usage:
pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id);
if (pdev) {
err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources,
ARRAY_SIZE(resources));
if (err == 0)
err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data,
sizeof(platform_data));
if (err == 0)
err = platform_device_add(pdev);
} else {
err = -ENOMEM;
}
if (err)
platform_device_put(pdev);

Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN
marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the
average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold.
This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small
bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this
option very carefully, it does more harm than good if
(qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst
cycles.
The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into
the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED
short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.

Extracts the RED algorithm from sch_red.c and puts it into include/net/red.h
for use by other RED based modules. The statistics are extended to be more
fine grained in order to differ between probability/forced marks/drops.

Adds a phy_mask field to struct mii_bus and uses it. This field
indicates each phy address to be ignored when probing the mdio bus.
This support is needed for the fs_enet and ibm_emac drivers to be
converted to the generic phy layer among other drivers. Many systems
lock up on probing certain phy addresses or probing doesn't return
0xffff when nothing is found at the address. A new driver I'm
working on also makes use of this mask.

Use ata_pad_{alloc,free} in two drivers, to factor out common code.
Add ata_pad_{alloc,free} to two other drivers, which needed the padding
but had not been updated.
This adds support for the Nvidia Geforce 7800 series of cards to the
nvidiafb framebuffer driver. All it does is add the PCI device id for
the 7800, 7800 GTX, 7800 GO, and 7800 GTX GO cards to the module device
table for the nvidiafb.ko driver, so that nvidiafb.ko will actually work
on these cards.
I also added the relevant PCI device ids to linux/pci_ids.h
I tested it on my 7800 GTX here and it works like a charm. I now can
get framebuffer support on this card! Woo hoo!! Nothing like 200x75 text

RFC 3530 states that for OPEN_DOWNGRADE "The share_access and share_deny
bits specified must be exactly equal to the union of the share_access and
share_deny bits specified for some subset of the OPENs in effect for
current openowner on the current file.
Setattr is currently violating the NFSv4 rules for OPEN_DOWNGRADE in that
it may cause a downgrade from OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_BOTH to
OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE despite the fact that there exists no open file
with O_WRONLY access mode.
Fix the problem by replacing nfs4_find_state() with a modified version of
nfs_find_open_context().

Patch from Dave Jiang
This provides support for IXP2xxx error interrupt handling. Previously there was a patch to remove this (although the original stuff was broken). Well, now the error bits are needed again. These are used extensively by the micro-engine drivers according to Deepak and also we will need it for the new EDAC code that Alan Cox is trying to push into the main kernel.
Re-submit of 3072/1, generated against git tree pulled today. AFAICT, this git tree pulled in all the ARM changes that's in arm.diff. Please let me know if there are additional changes. Thx!

It appears that either the Audigy DMA engine or the Linux kernel cannot
handle 32 bit DMA with this device. Problem manifests as noise when
using more than 2GB of RAM, possibly only on 64 bit machines.
The OSS driver actually uses a 29 bit DMA mask for both devices, this
seems like overkill for now.

The merged verison of ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS is basically the PPC64 version, with
a memset that came from PPC and a few types abstracted out into #defines. But
it's not _quite_ right.
The first problem is we calculate the number of registers with:
nregs = sizeof(struct pt_regs) / sizeof(ELF_GREG_TYPE)
For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's bogus because the registers are
64 bits, but ELF_GREG_TYPE is u32, so nregs == 88 which is wrong.
The other problem is the memset, which assumes a struct pt_regs is smaller
than a struct elf_regs. For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's false.
The fix is to calculate the number of regs using sizeof(unsigned long), which
should always be right, and just memset the whole damn thing _before_ copying
the registers in.

register_vpa() doesn't actually do a VPA register call it just uses the flags
you pass it, so rename it to vpa_call() to be clearer.
We can then define register_vpa() and unregister_vpa() which are both simple
wrappers around vpa_call(). (we'll need unregister_vpa() for kexec soon)
We can then cleanup vpa_init(), and because vpa_init() is only called from
platforms/pseries we remove the definition in asm-ppc64/smp.h.
