2006-10-21[PATCH] libata-sff: Allow for wacky systemsAlan Cox
There are some Linux supported platforms that simply cannot hit the low I/O addresses used by ATA legacy mode PCI mappings. These platforms have a window for PCI space that is fixed by the board logic and doesn't include the neccessary locations. Provide a config option so that such platforms faced with a controller that they cannot support simply error it and punt Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-10-21[PATCH] libata: use correct map_db values for ICH8Kristen Carlson Accardi
Use valid values for ICH8 map_db. With the old values, when the controller was in Native mode, and SCC was 1 (drives configured for IDE), any drive plugged into a slave port was not recognized. For Combined Mode (and SCC is still 1), 2 is a value value for MAP.map_value, and needs to be recognized.

2006-10-20[PATCH] acpi memory hotplug: remove strange add_memory fail messageYasunori Goto
I wrote a patch to avoid redundant memory hot-add call at boot time. This was cause of strange fail message of memory hotplug like "ACPI: add_memory failed". Memory is recognized by early boot code with EFI/E820. But, if DSDT describes memory devices for them, then hot-add code is called for already recognized memory, and it shows fail messages with -EEXIST. So, sys admin will misunderstand this message as something wrong by it. This patch avoids them by preventing redundant hot-add call until completion of driver initialization.

2006-10-20[PATCH] fix "ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT"Darrick J. Wong
This patch breaks C-state discovery on my IBM IntelliStation Z30 because the return value of acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt is not assigned to "result" in the case that acpi_processor_get_power_info_cst returns -ENODEV. Thus, if ACPI provides C-state data via the FADT and not _CST (as is the case on this machine), we incorrectly exit the function with -ENODEV after reading the FADT. The attached patch sets the value of result so that we don't exit early. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2006-10-20[PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functionsAndrew Morton
Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion". Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept. The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core backing-dev congestion functions. This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.
