0741a951e8 PCI: remove unneeded lock_kernel() in drivers/pci/syscall.c.
sys_pciconfig_{read,write}() are protected against PCI removal with the
reference count in struct pci_dev.  The concurrency of
pci_user_{read,write}_config_* functions are already protected by pci_lock
in drivers/pci/access.c.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

e04b0ea2e0 [PATCH] PCI: Block config access during BIST
Some PCI adapters (eg.  ipr scsi adapters) have an exposure today in that they
issue BIST to the adapter to reset the card.  If, during the time it takes to
complete BIST, userspace attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus
bridge will master abort the access since the ipr adapter does not respond on
the PCI bus for a brief period of time when running BIST.  On PPC64 hardware,
this master abort results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device
from the rest of the system, making the device unusable until Linux is
rebooted.  This patch is an attempt to close that exposure by introducing some
blocking code in the PCI code.  When blocked, writes will be humored and reads
will return the cached value.  Ben Herrenschmidt has also mentioned that he
plans to use this in PPC power management.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
