These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not
flood the syslog with them.
The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody
made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a
valid input to store_uevent().
Eg. "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to
require "add" without the '\0'.
This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code
once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present.
According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as
the one I have here that requires this fix.

When getting disconnected we need to release eventual grabs on the
underlying input device as we also release the input device itself.
Otherwise, we would try to release the grab when the client that
requested it closes its handle, accessing the input device which
might already be freed.

This patch fixes bits of the DRM so to make the radeon DRI work on
non-cache coherent PCI DMA variants of the PowerPC processors.
It moves the few places that needs change to wrappers to that
other architectures with similar issues can easily add their
own changes to those wrappers, at least until we have more useful
generic kernel API.

This interface was originally designed wrong, confusing bit-fields and
integers, major brown paper bag going back many years...
But userspace only ever used 4 values so fix the interface for new
users and fix the implementation to deal with the 4 values userspace
has ever emitted (0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x6).

This reverts commit b140b99c41.
[ conflict in drivers/ide/ide-probe.c fixed manually ]
It turned out that probing order change causes problems for some drives:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10239
Since root causes are still being investigated and are unlikely to be fixed
before 2.6.25 lets revert this change for now. As a result cable detection
becomes less reliable when compared with 2.6.24 but the affected drives are
useable again.

There have been reported regressions of the SIL 680 driver when using MMIO, so
this makes it only try MMIO on Cell blades where it's known to be necessary
(the host bridge doesn't do PIO on these).
We'll try to find the root problem with MMIO separately.

The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in
int driver_add_kobj(). The leak looks legit to me - this is the code :
int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj,
const char *fmt, ...)
{
va_list args;
char *name;
int ret;
va_start(args, fmt);
name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args);
^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space...
va_end(args);
if (!name)
return -ENOMEM;
return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name);
^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated
}
Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can
see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some
configmation before the patch is applied.
This should fix it.

Fix regression in dm-crypt introduced in commit
3a7f6c990a ("dm crypt: use async crypto").
If write requests need to be split into pieces, the code must not process them
in parallel because the crypto context cannot be shared. So there can be
parallel crypto operations on one part of the write, but only one write bio
can be processed at a time.
This is not optimal and the workqueue code needs to be optimized for parallel
processing, but for now it solves the problem without affecting the
performance of synchronous crypto operation (most of current dm-crypt users).

This reverts commit 3c0a654e39 and
fixes kernel bug #10245:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10245
The HP Compaq nc6120 has the same PCI sub-device ID as the nx6110, and the
SMBus is used by ACPI for thermal management on the nc6120, so Linux should
not attach a native driver to it. This means that this quirk is unsafe and
has to be removed.
I also added a comment to help developers realize that adding new IDs to this
SMBus unhiding quirk table should be done only with great care, and in
particular only after checking that ACPI is not making use of the SMBus.
