"=m" (lock-&gt;lock) / "1" (lock-&gt;lock) makes gcc4 unhappy; fixed by s/1/m/,
same as in case of i386 rwsem.h where such variant had been accepted
by both Linus and rth.

In yenta_socket, we default to using the resource setting of the CardBus
bridge.  However, this is a PCI-bus-centric view of resources and thus needs
to be converted to generic resources first.  Therefore, add a call to
pcibios_bus_to_resource() call in between.  This function is a mere wrapper on
x86 and friends, however on some others it already exists, is added in this
patch (alpha, arm, ppc, ppc64) or still needs to be provided (parisc -- where
is its pcibios_resource_to_bus() ?).

<title>[PATCH] Don't export machine_restart, machine_halt, or machine_power_off.</title>

machine_restart, machine_halt and machine_power_off are machine
specific hooks deep into the reboot logic, that modules
have no business messing with.  Usually code should be calling
kernel_restart, kernel_halt, kernel_power_off, or
emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.

This fixes the bug that caused BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) to trigger in
run_posix_cpu_timers() on alpha/smp.  We didn't disable interrupts
properly before calling smp_percpu_timer_interrupt().

We *do* disable interrupts everywhere except this unfortunate
smp_percpu_timer_interrupt().  Fixed thus.

As usual, the reason of this breakage is quite silly: in do_entIF, we
are checking for PS == 0 to see whether it was a kernel BUG() or
userspace trap.

It works, unless BUG() happens in interrupt - PS is not 0 in kernel mode
due to non-zero IPL, and the things get messed up horribly then.  In
this particular case it was BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) triggered in
run_posix_cpu_timers(), so we ended up shooting "current" with the
bursts of one SIGTRAP and three SIGILLs on every timer tick.  ;-)
