This bites me all day when I use our default config for ppc64.  We use a
patch to fix the compile errors and provide the CONFIG_MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN
functionality (which is behind CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID).  But Benh doesnt like
it.

http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc64-dev/2005-March/003423.html

Just hide all the ADB parts from via-pmu on ppc64 instead.

drivers/macintosh/adbhid.c: In function `adbhid_init':

<title>[PATCH] openfirmware: implement hotplug for macio devices</title>

This adds the hotplug routine for generating hotplug events when devices
are seen on the macio bus.  It uses the attributed created by the sysfs
nodes to generate the hotplug environment vars for userspace.

Since the characters allowed inside the 'compatible' field are NUL
terminated, they are exported as individual OF_COMPATIBLE_# variables,
with OF_COMPATIBLE_N maintaining a count of how many there are.

In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to
module-init-tools and hotplug must be applied.  Those patches are
available at:

Changes: The previous versions were built on 2.6.12. 2.6.13-rcX introduced
         a device_attribute parameter to the show functions. Since that

         result, causing Oopsen very quickly.

This converts the usage of struct of_match to struct of_device_id,
similar to pci_device_id.  This allows a device table to be generated,
which can be parsed by depmod(8) to generate a map file for module
loading.

This patch removes CONFIG_PMAC_PBOOK (PowerBook support).  This is now
split into CONFIG_PMAC_MEDIABAY for the actual hotswap bay that some
powerbooks have, CONFIG_PM for power management related code, and just left
out of any CONFIG_* option for some generally useful stuff that can be used
on non-laptops as well.

<title>[PATCH] ppc32: Bump PMU interrupt priority</title>

The Power Management Unit on PowerMacs is very sensitive to timeouts during
async message exchanges.  It uses rather crude protocol based on a shift
register with an interrupt and is almost continuously exchanging messages with
the host CPU on laptops.

This patch adds a routine to the open_pic driver to be able to select a PMU
driver so that it bumps it's interrupt priority to above the normal level.

This will allow PMU interrupts to occur while another interrupt is pending,
and thus reduce the risk of machine beeing abruptly shutdown by the PMU due to
a timeout in PMU communication caused by excessive interrupt latency.  The
problem is very rare, and usually just doesn't happen, but it is still useful
to make things even more robust.

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!

<title>[PATCH] I2C: Kill address ranges in non-sensors i2c chip drivers</title>

<id>b3d5496ea5915fa4848fe307af9f7097f312e932</id>
<content type='text'>
Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).

Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.

A documentation update is included.

The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.

This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).
