Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read
the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for
better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen,
so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This
is a great loss for such people.
Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the
cursor while still moving it.
Mario, you should apply it to the speakup kernel for access floppies
asap. I'll submit a 2.4 patch too.

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.

Some boards using the 79c976 pcnet32 chip will hang the system if the
ethtool --register-dump is performed with the device operational. The
request to read bcr30 is retried by the PCI device infinitely without
returning data, hanging the system.
Tested ia32 and ppc64.

This patch is a better fix for Allied Telesyn 2700/2701 FX boards than
the change made in early January this year. It allows the user to
select the speed/duplex via module_param, but if no selection is made,
forces the speed to 100 FD. It fixes both Bugzilla bugs 2669 and 4551.
Tested ia32 and ppc64 by myself, and by the originator of bug 2669.

Display the name eth%d or pci_name() of device which fails to allocate
memory. When changing ring size via ethtool, it also releases the
lock before returning on error. Added comment that the caller of
pcnet32_alloc_ring must call pcnet32_free_ring on error, to avoid leak.
Tested ia32 by forcing allocation errors.

Hi,
This patch provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options.
Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied
one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter
ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2
This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation
functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and
"skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload.
one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter
ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=3
Please review the patch.

fid is declared as a u32 (unsigned int), and then a few lines later, it is checked for a value < 0, which is clearly useless.
In the two locations this function is used, in one it is *explicitly* given a negative number, which would be ignored with the
current definition.

Currently the driver takes a reference only for requests coming by way
of the gendisk, not for requests coming by way of the struct device or
struct scsi_device. Such requests can arrive in the rescan, flush,
and shutdown pathways.
The patch also makes the scsi_disk keep a reference to the underlying
scsi_device, and it erases the scsi_device's pointer to the scsi_disk
when the scsi_device is removed (since the pointer should no longer be
used).
This resolves Bugzilla entry #5237.

The printks that aren't for debugging should use the name of the controller,

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
mode to make your eyes BLEED. ;)

cfq's add_req_fn callback may invoke q->request_fn directly and
depending on low-level driver used and timing, a queued request may be
finished & deallocated before add_req_fn callback returns. So,
__elv_add_request must not access rq after it's passed to add_req_fn
callback.
This patch moves rq_mergeable test above add_req_fn(). This may
result in q->last_merge pointing to REQ_NOMERGE request if add_req_fn
callback sets it but as RQ_NOMERGE is checked again when blk layer
actually tries to merge requests, this does not cause any problem.
