This patch adds is_multicast_ether_addr() to go along with
is_valid_ether_addr() and friends. It then changes
is_valid_ether_addr() to use the new macro, and fixes up the comment
on that function to move implementation details out of the API doco.

This patch adds dummy gameport_register_port, gameport_unregister_port
and gameport_set_phys functions to gameport.h for the case when a driver
can't use gameport.
This fixes the compilation of some OSS drivers with GAMEPORT=n without
the need to #if inside every single driver.
This patch also removes the non-working and now obsolete SOUND_GAMEPORT.
This patch is also an alternative solution for ALSA drivers with similar
problems (but #if's inside the drivers might have the advantage of
saving some more bytes of gameport is not available).
The only user-visible change is that for GAMEPORT=m the affected OSS
drivers are now allowed to be built statically (but they won't have
gameport support).

Jens Axboe pointed out that the iounmap() call in libata was occurring
too early, and some drivers (ahci, probably others) were using ioremap'd
memory after it had been unmapped.
The patch should address that problem by way of improving the libata
driver API:
* move ->host_stop() call after all ->port_stop() calls have occurred.
* create default helper function ata_host_stop(), and move iounmap()
call there.
* add ->host_stop_prewalk() hook, use it in sata_qstor.c (hi Mark).
sata_qstor appears to require the host-stop-before-port-stop ordering
that existed prior to applying the attached patch.
A new driver bnx2 for Broadcom bcm5706 is available.
The patch also includes new 1000BASE-X advertisement bit definitions in
mii.h

In _spin_unlock_bh(lock):
do { \
_raw_spin_unlock(lock); \
preempt_enable(); \
local_bh_enable(); \
__release(lock); \
} while (0)
there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple
preempt_enable_no_resched()
Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always
return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is
useless here...
This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the
"preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched()
just before re-enabling bottom halves.

As noted by Chris Wright, we need to do the full range of tests regardless
of whether MAP_FIXED is set or not, so re-organize get_unmapped_area()
slightly to do the sanity checks unconditionally.
The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:
- Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
- Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
- Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
- Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
- Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.
This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers. It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18. That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.
This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.
Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.
No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's
idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick

Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper
functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as
- layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object)
- behaviour of these helpers is same as before.
Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them
with a single __le64. Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or.
Benefits:
- exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs
in sight.
- generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian.
- doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator.
- happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a
bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).

comp_short_keys() massaged into sane form, which kills the last place where
pointer to in_core_key (or any object containing such) would be cast to or
from something else. At that point we are free to change layout of
in_core_key - nothing depends on it anymore.
So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64
k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those.
That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.
