Make usbmon to print Setup packets of Control transfers. This is useful
when debugging enumeration issues.
This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible.
A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is
a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data.
I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such
parsers exist at this point.

Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation
files.
Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the
files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.

The I2C stack has long had "id" fields, of rather dubious utility, in
many data structures. This removes mention of one of them from the
documentation about how to write an I2C driver, so that only drivers
that really need to use them (probably old/legacy code) will have any
reason to use this field.

Schedule removal of the PCMCIA ioctl (and thus kernel support for the
pcmcia-cs userspace package) for November 2005.
A big "thank you" to Dave Hinds for his great work on supporting PCMCIA in
Linux. Things are just done differently by now, so the ongoing work to make
PCMCIA behave like any other hotpluggable bus should continue.

* /usr/src/linux-2.6.12/Documentation/dvb/bt8xx.txt
almost completely remade the text file with the following focuses:
useful infos for beginners: how to load modules manually and
automatically developers infos are reduced to a minimum as module loading
works automatic in kernel >= 2.6.12 by loading modules bttv and dvb-bt8xx
I completely erased the out of date TwinHan part dealing with additional
parameters, debug parameters, and overriding autodetection Further up to
date information about TwinHan + clones can be found in

Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options. Its effectiveness
varies we've found in the Fedora case. Quite a few systems with misdescribed
IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll. It also fixes up the VIA systems
although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default
as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically).
A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause
an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for. In those cases it
doesn't help.

I updated this to remove unnecessary variable initialization, make
check_routing be inline only and not __init, switch to strtoul, and
formatting fixes as per Randy Dunlap's recommendations.
I updated this to change pirq_table_addr to a long, and to add a warning
msg if the PIRQ table wasn't found at the specified address, as per thread
with Matthew Wilcox.
In our hardware situation, the BIOS is unable to store or generate it's PIRQ
table in the F0000h-100000h standard range. This patch adds a pci kernel
parameter, pirqaddr to allow the bootloader (or BIOS based loader) to inform
the kernel where the PIRQ table got stored. A beneficial side-effect is that,
if one's BIOS uses a static address each time for it's PIRQ table, then
pirqaddr can be used to avoid the $pirq search through that address block each
time at boot for normal PIRQ BIOSes.

Add some information useful for PCMCIA device driver authors to
Documentation/pcmcia/, and reference it in dmesg in case of hash mismatches.
Also add a reference to pcmciautils to Documentation/Changes. With recent
changes, you don't need to concern yourself with pcmcia-cs even if you have
PCMCIA hardware, so the example above the list needed to be adapted as well.

Patch indents dmfe.txt to look like other docs. It adds a tip about CNET
cards using Davicom chipsets. Also it removes parts where it refers to how
to build driver out-of-kernel which seems to be cruft from times where the
driver was out of the kernel.

1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
frozen(process) Check for frozen process
freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
thaw_process(process) Restart process
frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now
2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
kernel sources except sched.h
3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

o Specify "irqpoll" command line option which loading second kernel. This
helps in reducing driver initialization failures in second kernel due
to shared interrupts.
o Enabled LAPIC/IOAPIC support for UP kernels in second kernel. This reduces
the chances of devices sharing the irq and hence reduces the chances of
driver initialization failures in second kernel.
o Build a UP capture kernel and disabled SMP support.
