Basic braille screen reader support

2008-04-30T15:29:52+00:00

This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support.  This is meant to
be used by blind people e.g.  on boot failures or when / cannot be mounted
etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.

iomap: fix 64 bits resources on 32 bits

2008-04-29T15:06:02+00:00

Almost all implementations of pci_iomap() in the kernel, including the generic
lib/iomap.c one, copies the content of a struct resource into unsigned long's
which will break on 32 bits platforms with 64 bits resources.

This fixes all definitions of pci_iomap() to use resource_size_t.  I also
"fixed" the 64bits arch for consistency.

[POWERPC] Add strncmp to arch/ppc

2008-04-24T10:57:34+00:00

Commit 0119536cd314ef95553604208c25bc35581f7f0a added an assembly
version of strncmp to PowerPC.  However, it changed a common header
file between arch/ppc and arch/powerpc without adding strncmp to
arch/ppc.  This fixes that omission so that arch/ppc links again.

PCI: ppc: use generic pci_enable_resources()

2008-04-21T04:47:05+00:00

Use the generic pci_enable_resources() instead of the arch-specific code.

Unlike this arch-specific code, the generic version:
    - checks PCI_NUM_RESOURCES (11), not 6, resources
    - skips resources that have neither IORESOURCE_IO nor IORESOURCE_MEM set
    - skips ROM resources unless IORESOURCE_ROM_ENABLE is set
    - checks for resource collisions with "!r->parent", not IORESOURCE_UNSET

ppc: remove ppc_ide_md

2008-04-17T22:46:32+00:00

* Add special cases for pplus and prep to ide_default_{irq,io_base}()
  (+ FIXMEs about the need to use IDE platform host driver instead).

* Remove no longer needed ppc_ide_md and struct ide_machdep_calls.

* Then remove  include from:
  - arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_32.c
  - arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c
  - arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c
  - arch/ppc/platforms/pplus.c
  - arch/ppc/platforms/prep_setup.c

There should be no functional changes caused by this patch.

Generic semaphore implementation

2008-04-17T14:42:34+00:00

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility.  Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning.  Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.
