Linux-2.5.8-pre1

[Linus Torvalds]

Ok, there's a largish 2.5.8-pre1 patch out there in testing right now.

It syncs up with various sources over the last two weeks - notably USB,
networking, sparc, net drivers, and the beginning of the -dj tree merge.
Some of the merges are known incomplete (eg some drivers do not compile
etc), but testing is always a good idea.

Changelog appended.

			Linus

PS. For people who still haven't noticed - the "I'm leaving Linux and
Transmeta" email was a April fools joke (and not written by me, btw, so 
don't credit me for being funny)

Summary of changes from v2.5.7 to v2.5.8-pre1
============================================

<[e-mail]> (02/03/15 1.473.4.15)
	acenic net driver update:
	* clean up vlan defines to dramatically reduce number of ifdefs
	* re-optimize private structure across cache line boundaries
	* fix typo(s) in printk/comments

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.538)
	USB printer driver
	
	added HP DeskJet 959C to the quirks list

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.539)
	USB printer driver
	
	added more printer quirks to the list

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.540)
	USB hcd.c, non-HS periodic transfers
	
	This patch adds a missing "break", which prevented low and full
	speed periodic transfers from getting through the "hcd" framework
	to the driver (OHCI, for now).  Sigh... :)

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.541)
	USB mem flags nonpoisonous
	
	This patch completely punts on passing SLAB_POISON, I've
	gotten burnt by it once too many.  Seems like the slab code
	changed somewhere.  I've got a separate patch to make the
	pci_pool code use CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, which I'll send
	around.
	    
	Meanwhile, I needed this to get at least EHCI to intialize on
	a 2.5.7-pre1 system.  Please merge.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.542)
	USB
	
	Comment and documentation cleanups

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.543)
	USB
	
	inline cleanup to save a chunk of memory in usb-ohci

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.544)
	USB echi and Intel ICH
	  
	This updates the Philips tweak so that it also applies
	to late-model ICH chips from Intel.  (Or so I'm told ... :)
	That's at least three EHCI implementations known to
	behave on Linux.  (And one hopes VIA soon too...)
	
	It also cleans up a few comments relating to 64bit DMA;
	recent API spec updates make it look like no games are
	needed with the PCI DMA mask -- it doesn't change the
	segment used by pci_pool allocations, so it just needs
	to get turned on if the overall system does 64bit DMA.
	
	I've a query in to see if those Philips/Intel tweaks are
	chip quirks, or just something the EHCI 1.0 spec isn't
	at all clear about.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.537.1.1)
	On sparc{,64}, use ptrace_check_attach instead of
	verifying things by hand.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.537.1.2)
	In Sparc{,64} signal handling, tsk->p_pptr --> tsk->parent

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.537.2.1)
	Fix build error on non-x86.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.545)
	This updates linux/Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt to:
	
	    - refer to "usbfs"
	    - describe the /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD files
	    - more info about the .../drivers and .../devices
	    - ... generally, gives more information.
	  
	This is ever so slightly forward looking in how it describes
	bandwidth requirements for high speed periodic transfers,
	it's expecting a bugfix patch that's in my queue.  (That info            
	is currently broken/meaningless.)

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.546)
	[PATCH] uhci.c 2.4.19-pre3 kmem_cache_alloc flags
	
	My previous patch which cleaned up some of the spinlocks, moved one of
	the spinlocks around a call to kmem_cache_alloc. It would sometimes
	erroneously call it with GFP_KERNEL.
	
	This patch fixes the problem by always calling it with GFP_ATOMIC.
	Thanks to Greg for pointing this out to me.
	
	JE

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.547)
	[PATCH] uhci.c 2.4.19-pre3 erroneous completion callback
	
	uhci.c would call the completion callback when the call to submit_urb
	failed. This is a rare situation.
	
	This patch only calls the completion handler if the URB successfully
	completed immediately (as in the case of talking to the virtual root
	hub).
	
	JE

<[e-mail]> (02/03/18 1.548)
	[PATCH] uhci.c 2.4.19-pre3 interrupt deadlock
	
	Unfortunately, I left out one line from my spinlock cleanup patch
	recently.
	
	As a result, using interrupt URB's could cause a deadlock on SMP
	kernels.
	
	This should fix the deadlock Greg reported.
	
	JE

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.549)
	USB ipaq driver
	
	Don't submit urbs while holding spinlocks. Not strictly required in
	2.5.x, but it's always better to do less while holding a spinlock.
	Also a good idea to keep 2.{4,5}.x drivers in sync.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.550)
	USB usbfs periodic endpoint/bandwidth reporting
	
	This is an updated version of a patch I sent around a
	while back.  It's against 2.5.7-pre1 (so presumably is
	fine on 2.5.7), and addresses feedback against that
	earlier patch.
	  
	It's bugfixes, mostly for highspeed support, to what
	/proc/bus/usb/devices shows:
	  
	- Shows isochronous periods correctly (logarithmic
	  encoding, possibly 1/2/4 microframes if highspeed)
	- Likewise for high-speed interrupt periods (similar)
	- Makes high bandwidth endpoints look like they
	  just do bigger packets (up to 3 KBytes/uframe)
	- Shows highspeed bandwidth correctlly (80% reserved,
	  vs 90% reserved for full/low speed).

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.551)
	USB proc_usb_info.txt
	
	documented the fact that the interval is not always reported in ms.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.1.3)
	Update sparc64 defconfig.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.2)
	Netfilter enhancement from Harald Welte and Netfilter team.
	Add destroy callback to ip_conntrack_helper, to be used by L4
	protocol trackers.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.552)
	USB hpusbscsi driver
	
	Port changes from 2.4:
	  We do request_sense ourselves to comply with
	  the scanner command set

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.3)
	Remove obsolete confusing instructions on tcp_max_syn_backlog
	from IPv4 sysctl documentation.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.4)
	Make pkt_sched.h:PSCHED_TDIFF_SAFE behave sane when measuring
	large time intervals.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.5)
	Remove unused field from TCP struct open_request.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.6)
	Do not fail creating _new_ NOARP entry with EPERM.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.7)
	Old bug in skbuff.c, found by someone, but was lost.
	In __pskb_pull_tail, pskb_expand_head return value test
	was inverted.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.8)
	IPv4 FIB routing fixes:
	- fix device leakage in multipath
	- fix oops due to race by adding spinlock

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.9)
	In IPv4 ICMP:
	pskb_pull really may reallocate packet after the check
	for 8 bytes was removed from ip_input, so set icmp
	header pointer after pskb_pull call not before.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.10)
	Fix for ipv4 tunnel devices:
	- do not make path mtu discovery, when it is disabled :-)

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.11)
	IP input fixes:
	- no need to check for pskb_may_pull() in ip_local_deliver_finish, header
	is guaranteed to be at right place here.
	- remove cleaing ip_summed with IP options, it was required due to
	broken eth_copy_and_csum, but we do not use it any more
	and it happens to break loopback

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.12)
	Terrible bug in ipv4/route.c, mis-sized ip_rt_acct leads to
	complete memory corruption.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.13)
	TCP Input fixes:
	1) Two bugs noticed by Pasi:
	   - Wrong rtt update interval
	   - Forgot to clear retrans_stamp when entering established
	     state
	2) Missing LAST_ACK case of processing segment text (step 7) in
	   tcp_rcv_state_process.
	3) Remove "final cut" code, purism is good not all the times. :-)

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.14)
	UDP fixes:
	- respect multicast interface when connecting

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.15)
	IPV6 addrconf exploit fix:
	- stop external DoS attack feeding lots of IPv6 prefixes

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.16)
	IPv6 neighbour discovery fixes:
	- Answer to neighbour solicitations on SIT, otherwise
	  freebsd does not want to talk to us.
	- Fix wrong structure nd_msg and... use it :-)

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.17)
	TCP ipv6 fixes:
	- Fix open_request lookup bug that was already fixed in ipv4

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.18)
	Port of 2.2.x AF_PACKET bug fix.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.19)
	Fix bug in sch_prio.c where wrong handle was
	being dumped.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.20)
	In sch_sfq.c, allow to descrease length of queue

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.21)
	Add new sysctl, medium_id, to devinet.
	It is used to differentiate the devices by the medium
	they are attached to.  It is used to change proxy_arp behavior:
	the proxy arp feature is enabled for packets forwarded between
	two devices attached to different media.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.22)
	Allow to bind to an already in use local port
	during connect when the connection will still have a unique
	identity.  Fixes port space exhaustion, especially in web
	caches.
	
	Initial work done by Andi Kleen.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.23)
	Fix mis-merge of TCP_LAST_ACK fix.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.24)
	Update port-allocation changes to coincide with struct sock
	splitup.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.25)
	Update port-allocation changes to coincide with struct sock
	splitup.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.2.26)
	Kill unused local var in af_inet.c:inet_stream_connect

<[e-mail]> (02/03/19 1.537.1.4)
	Move VPTE_BASE_foo definitions to common
	header instead of scattered all over assembly files.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.3.2)
	e100 net driver update:
	
	1) This patch provides fix for "wake on arp" and "wake on unicast"
	functionality when card is suspended by power management. When e100_suspend
	was called for the device that is in netif_running state the load filter
	command was executed in the asynchronic mode and the order of actions
	required to put device into wake up enabled mode was broken.
	
	The fix enables to execute WOL configure and load filter commands in the
	synchronic mode despite of fact that device is in netif_running state. The
	exec_non_cu_command uses the driver_isolated flag to identify this
	situation. 
	
	2) add EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS (yay Intel, you have come so far... :))
	
	3) bump version to 2.0.25-pre1

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.3.3)
	Merge ethtool initiate-nic-self-test ioctl, and support for it in e100 net drvr.
	
	Contributed by Eli Kupermann @ Intel, modified by me.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.4.1)
	Add three scripts for BK users, to Documentation/BK-usage:
	bzsend: good for users who want to send reviewable BK patches
	bz64wrap, unbz64wrap: bzip2 uuencoding wrappers for encapulating BK patches

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.4.2)
	Remove silly overdependency on Perl 5.6.1 in BK helper scripts.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.3.4)
	Add support file e100_test to e100 net driver.  Missed in earlier merge.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.3.5)
	Merge dl2k gigabit ethernet driver update vendor:
	* add rio_timer to watch rx condition
	* move poll initiation to rx refill loop
	* use del_timer_sync to avoid race (me)
	* CodingStyle cleanups (me)

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.3.6)
	Merge orinoco_plx wireless driver pci ids from 2.4.x.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.4.3)

	Update munish WAN driver to not kfree memory multiple times.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.4.6)
	Fix DocBook documentation for ALSA merge,
	basically s#drivers/sound#sound/oss#

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.3.8)
	Revert epic100 net driver power sequence "fix", it broke some boards.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.2.27)
	Fix reverse logic in checking sock_writeable return
	in UDP case.  I note in passing that the TCP case is
	wrong because TCP does not use sock_writeable()s

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.1.5)
	In sparc64/ebus, handle machines with both RIO and
	non-RIO EBUSes correctly.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.551.1.1)
	USB hub
	
	changed the interval for checking if the device is connected yet or not.
	Thanks to Itai Nahshon <[e-mail]> for the information.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.1.6)
	On sparc64 Schizo PCI controllers, there is no inofixup
	to apply during IRQ building.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.1.7)
	On sparc64, handle assigning ROM and non-standard resources
	properly.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.1.8)
	In Sun GEM/HME drivers, if OpenBoot firmware is not
	available (e.g. i386) fetch the ethernet MAC address
	from the vital-product data contained in the PCI
	ROM of the card.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/20 1.537.1.9)
	Model Sparc64 pci_assign_resource more closely to the
	implementation in drivers/pci/setup-res.c to make it
	easier to track bugs.
	
	Fix calculation of mem_space end on Sparc64 Schizo PCI controllers.
	The decode register is set up for the whole 4GB even though the
	top 2GB is reserved for DMA to/from main memory (ie. IOMMU translated)

<[e-mail]> (02/03/21 1.537.1.10)
	Merge 2.4.x Sun GEM/HME net driver fixes.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/21 1.537.1.11)
	Remove debugging printk while probing MAC address.
	Unregister netdev on shutdown before iounmapping registers.

	Added support for the Palm m130 device, thanks to Udo Eisenbarth
	<[e-mail]> for the information.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/21 1.555)
	USB serial driver core
	
	- Moved all manipulation of port->open_count into the core.  Now the
	  individual driver's open and close functions are called only when the
	  first open() and last close() is called.  Making the drivers a bit
	  smaller and simpler.
	- Fixed a bug if a driver didn't have the owner field set.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/21 1.556)
	USB serial drivers
	
	changes due to open_count being handled by the usb-serial core code.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/21 1.557)
	USB kaweth driver
	
	added optus@home uep1045a driver to the list of supported devices.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/21 1.537.2.28)
	Add missing KERN_foo printk specifiers to networking.
	Based upon a patch from Denis Vlasenko.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/21 1.537.1.13)
	Merge 2.4.x VGER sparc32 changes into 2.5.x

<[e-mail]> (02/03/21 1.537.1.15)
	Move bootstr_valid/bootstr_buf back into .data section.
	Add comment explaining that why these must not be moved into the
	.bss section.

<[e-mail]> (02/03/22 1.537.2.31)
	Code (and commentary) in SYN-RECEIVED processing
	assumes that it cannot be reached in the crossed SYN case.
	This is wrong if the original SYNs came from a malicious packet
	generator third party.  This can result in a 4 minute ACK
	fight if the sequence numbers are correct.
	
	The fix is the verify the ACK before we do anything else, which
	should cover all cases.
	
	This bug was discovered by Casper Dik.

<petkan@mastika.> (02/03/22 1.558)

	USB ohci-hcd update
	
	It updates the "ohci-hcd" driver to address two issues, one            
	of which could potentially have caused oopses.  First, it takes
	out calls to usb_dec_dev_use() on the submit error path; that's
	already done elsewhere.  (Noted by Georg Acher.)  Second,
	it removes some pointless diagnostics.  One is for schedule
	overrun interrupts, the other is for accessing the frame counter.

	Big netfilter newnat patch for 2.5.7:
	- support for multiple expected connections
	  (necessary for protocols like H.323, SIP, PPTP)
	- helper-definable limit of unconfirmed expectations
	- timeouts for expectations
	- full graph of connection relations, even after expectation confirmed
	- various changes in the API towards conntrack and NAT helper
	- automatic conntrack helper loading when at helper is loaded
	- NAT mangling of TCP SACK in case of sequence number alteration
	  (no need to delete SACKPERM anymore, I hope Alexey is happy now)

<[e-mail]> (02/03/26 1.537.1.19)
	SunHME driver updates:
	- Fix SMP locking throughout
	- Deal with hw bug involving lost writes to rxring base address
	- Disable Never Give Up mode on transmitter, set TX attempts
	  limit to 16 (the default).  This deals with a possible hang
	  when the TX deadlocks with the PHY when a jabber occurs.
	- Delete some dead code.

	[PATCH] USB uhci bugfix
	
	The issue was that the poisoning would posing the data *before* it gave

	  due to device refcount bugs ...
	    
	  This is a minor patch to move the sanity check out of usb-ohci
	  into the generic bits of usbcore.    There are comments that
	  suggest a path for a more comprehensive approach too.
	    
	  Applies cleanly against 2.5.7 and I've been testing with it
	  for a while.  I can't think of any reason it shouldn't also go
	  into 2.4, beyond the patch not applying cleanly there ... :)

	Tigon3 net driver fixes:
	- Make use of pci_unmap_xxx storage optimization.
	- In tg3_get_invariants, fix cacheline_sz_reg shifts.
	  On 5703 chips, if latency timer is less than 64, set
	  it to 64.
	- In tg3_test_dma, only run the actual test on 5700/5701

	  - Uses <linux/completion.h> for unlink synchronization
	  - The "already unlinking" error case is reported like other
	    unlinking errors (not as success)
	  - Ripped out urb->next handling ... it wasn't compatible
	    with the ISO loop model, and at this point I believe it
	    should be completely replaced with queuing urbs inside
	    of the HCDs.  (Every HCD handles it for ISO, UHCI needs

	[PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 23
	
	- Support for additional Promise controller id's (PDC20276).
	
	- Remove code duplication between do_rw_taskfile and do_taskfile.
	   This will evolve into a more reasonable ata_command() function
	   finally. The ata_taskfile function has far too many arguments, but
	   I favour this over having two different code paths for getting

	- Kill unused fields from the ide_task_s structure. In esp. we pass a task
	   attached to a request and not the other way around!
	
	- Rename hwif field to channel in struct ide_drive_s.

	   the code more then necessary.
	
	- kill some unnecessary type definitions out from hdreg.h.
	
	- Add proper attributes to register files in hdreg.h.
	
	- Don't use raw arrays for tfRegister and hobRegister in ide_task_s.  Use out
	   nice global structures describing the fields in them.  This allows to kill
	   the following defines:
	
	     IDE_DATA_OFFSET

	- Please have a look at the following in pdc4030.c. It couldn't have worked!
	   This has been fixed in one go with the above change:

	   comment for "What a sh..". Please be assured that it doesn't sound vulgar.
	
	   Please grep for it to see immediately why this nomenclature is justified.
	
	- Rename hwifs_s to ata_channel and eliminate ide_hwifs_t as well as the HWIF
	   macro. OK this step makes this patch rather big.

	[PATCH] 2.5.7 IDE 27
	
	- Make for less terse error messages in ide-tape.c.
	
	- Replaced all timecomparisions done by hand with all the proper timer_after()
	   commands.
	
	- Remove the drive niec1 mechanisms alltogether. There are several reasons for
	   this:
	
	   1. The code implementing it is nonintelliglible and therefore propably
	   broken.
	
	   2. If we have to invent somethig about sceduling drive IO, it should be done
	   on the BIO level.
	
	   3. We may in fact interleave with the IO sceduling on the upper layers and
	   the results of two overlapping signal filters overlapped with each other can
	   be disasterous to the overall throughput. (In fact they *are* most of the
	   time.)
	
	   4. It was not working if you had intermixed modes on different drives
	   DMA versus PIO.
	
	   5. Our goal is to have a driver which is able to share the badwidth
	   properly and shouldn't needing this kind of "tuning".
	
	- Remove unused nice2 from disk struct.
	
	- Rename channel member of ata_channel to unit and device to dev to
	   just prevent wrong interpretations. This prevents constructs like
	   channel->channel...

	- Apply Pavel Macheks suspend resume double resume fix.
	
	- Finally remove the busy field for ata_operations and replace it with
	   MOD_INC_USE_COUNT and MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT.
	
	- Fix ali15xx chipset support by removing initialization differences,
	   apparently caused by mislead interpretation of the specs or a mismatch
	   between the specification and reality.
	
	- Guard calls to ide_set_handler with checks to see whatever the previously
	   installed IRQ handler already served it's purpose.
	
	- Convert timeout checks on poll_timeout to the time_before() interface.
	
	- Consolidate the two different IRQ handlers for multi mode PIO writes into
	   one. The problems remain the same but at least now we will only have to
	   tangle one single problem.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/02 1.537.5.8)
	[PATCH] ext2_fill_super breakage
	
	In 2.5.7 there is a thinko in the allocation and initialisation
	of the fs-private superblock for ext2.  It's passing the wrong type
	to the sizeof operator (which of course gives the wrong size)
	when allocating and clearing the memory.
	
	Lesson for the day: this is one of the reasons why this idiom:
	
		some_type *p;
	
		p = malloc(sizeof(*p));
		...
		memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p));
	
	is preferable to
	
		some_type *p;
	
		p = malloc(sizeof(some_type));
		...
		memset(p, 0, sizeof(some_type));
	
	I checked the other filesystems.  They're OK (but idiomatically
	impure).  I've added a couple of defensive memsets where
	they were missing.

	This causes errors from get_block() in block_read_full_page() to be

<[e-mail]> (02/04/03 1.537.1.80)
	[PATCH] videodev fixups / generic usercopy helper
	
	Originally from Gerd...
	
	I've just noticed that a hole left in the recent changes which should
	allow the usb v4l drivers to unregister with open file handles.  The
	drivers itself handle it just fine, but video_generic_ioctl() will barf
	when called on unregistered devices.  Oops.
	
	One way to fix this is to expect drivers call the helper function and
	pass a pointer for the function doing the actual work, i.e. handle it
	this way:
	
	driver_ioctl(inode,file,cmd,userptr)
		-> video_usercopy(inode,file,cmd,userptr,func)
			copy_from_user(...)
			-> func(inode,file,cmd,kernelptr);
			copy_to_user(...)
	
	Patch against 2.5.7-pre2 below. It updates videodev.[ch] and adapts
	usbvideo.c to show how the driver changes will look like.
	
	Note that this change makes the usercopy helper function a very generic
	one, it probably could be used for other drivers to (as long as the API
	has sane magic numbers based on _IO*(...) defines) as there is no
	video4linux-related stuff in there any more.  So we might think of
	renaming it an moving it to some more central place (fs/ioctl.c maybe).

<[e-mail]> (02/04/03 1.537.8.3)
	These net drivers init dev->rmem_start/end but do not use these at all 
	(probably as a result of copying skeleton or similar).  Removed this as 
	a step in the goal to remove rmem_start/end from netdev struct entirely.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/03 1.537.8.4)
	drivers/net/sb1000.c does not use any ISA memory for I/O but does (ab)use
	the rmem_end field to store an I/O port address in.  As rmem_end is going
	away, this does a s/rmem_end/mem_start/g since mem_start is otherwise 
	unused in sb1000.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/03 1.537.8.5)
	The struct netdev rmem_start and rmem_end entries are specific to 8390
	based net cards and hence these should be moved into the dev->priv
	for these cards.
	
	This patch adds rmem_start and rmem_end to dev->priv in 8390.h, and does:
	
	        s/dev->rmem_/ei_local.rmem_/g   on all 8390 shared mem drivers.

<[e-mail]> (02/04/03 1.537.8.6)
	Enable multiple ISA ethernet probes at boot (old behaviour was to quit
	once eth0 was found) - it is long since anyone shipped or built kernels
	with all the ISA drivers compiled in.
	
	This change will eliminate the need for adding "ether=...." at the boot 
	prompt for a lot of users who build their own kernels and have multiple
	ISA ethercards at standard (i.e. probed) I/O addresses.
	
	Also got sick of counting zeros, so did a struct init cleanup,
	i.e. {1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,9}  -> {one:1, nine:9}

	[PATCH] simple preemption debug check
	
	This simple check was first suggested by Andrew Morton.  Pretty basic -
	whines if a task exits with a nonzero preempt_count value.
	
	I put an identical check in the 2.4 preempt-kernel patch and - sure
	enough - it was found that XFS essentially disables preemption as it
	destroys data structures containing locks without first unlocking.  The
	SGI folks are working on that.
	
	Anyhow, its a quick and clean solution to debugging potential problems.
