<title>[media] saa6588: rename rds.h to saa6588.h</title>

<content type='text'>
The naming of the media/rds.h header suggested that it was a generic
RDS header, when in fact it is just a saa6588 module API that is
internal to the kernel.

Rename the header and the struct and defines in it to make this clear.

Also removed the header include in radio-si470x.h (not used anymore)
and from ioctl-number.txt (it's internal to the kernel and never called
from userspace).

smbfs has been scheduled for removal in 2.6.27, so
maybe we can now move it to drivers/staging on the
way out.

smbfs still uses the big kernel lock and nobody
is going to fix that, so we should be getting
rid of it soon.

This removes the 32 bit compat mount and ioctl
handling code, which is implemented in common fs
code, and moves all smbfs related files into
drivers/staging/smbfs.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

These are the ioctls for the special-purpose misc device /dev/nosy, the
interface to the IEEE 1394 packet sniffer/ protocol analyzer driver.
Currently only the numbers 00...02 are in use; let's block a few more
for unforeseen use cases.
