2008-01-25V4L/DVB (6619): Use MTS firmware for the HVR-900Aidan Thornton
The HVR-900 requires the MTS version of the xc3028 firmware in order to get any sound. The below patch selects this firmware variant on HVR-900 cards, as well as splitting the HVR-950 into its own entry (since I don't know if it uses the MTS variant and it will have to be split off eventually anyway).

2008-01-25cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()Gautham R Shenoy
Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the refcount semantics in these operations. The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed. In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the cpu_present_map there.

2008-01-23[SCSI] aacraid: add Voodoo Lite class of cards.Salyzyn, Mark
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.

2007-12-26[IPV4]: Fix ip command line processing.Simon Horman
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. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
