Salyzyn, Mark
cb1042f285 [SCSI] aacraid: add Voodoo Lite class of cards.
The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through
family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver
to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are
specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared
JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access.

We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely
depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds
in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We
leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports
this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management
applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage
the controller.

ab99eee8ac [POWERPC] Xilinx: Update booting-without-of.
This now better describes what the UBoot device tree generator
actually does.  In particular:

1) Nodes have a label derived from the device name, and a node name
derived from a generic version of the device type, e.g. 'ethernet',
'serial', etc.

2) Usage of compound nodes (representing more than one device in the
same IP) which actually works.  This requires having a valid
compatible node, and all the other things that a bus normally has.
I've chosen 'xlnx,compound' as the bus name to describe these compound
nodes.

In addition, I've clarified some of the language relating to how mhs
nodes should be represent in the device tree.

a6c05c3d06 [IPV4]: Fix ip command line processing.
Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was
update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the
latter is ignored and the default (on) is used.

This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion.
But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that
ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration.

This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on)
is the default.
