Superuser's 1/4 bonus worthness is quite a bit dubious, but considerable. However 1/16 is obviously insane. This is already ob... 17 Jun 2010 01:23

[RFC] High availability in KVM
We are trying to improve the integration of KVM with the most common HA stacks, but we would like to share with the community what we are trying to achieve and how before we take a wrong turn.

[PATCH] serial: cpm_uart: implement the cpm_uart_early_write() function for console poll
The cpm_uart_early_write() function which was used for console poll isn't implemented in the cpm uart driver. Implementing this function both fixes the build and allows kgdboc to work via the cpm uart.

[PATCH] x86: OLPC: use pr_debug() for EC commands
Unconditionally printing EC debug messages was helpful when we were actually debugging the EC, but during normal operation it can get pretty annoying. Using pr_debug allows us finer-grained control. (Richard, please yell if this shouldn't be done.) Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <dilinger(a)queued.net> --- ar... 17 Jun 2010 00:18

[PATCH] x86: OLPC: add support for calling into OpenFirmware (v4)
Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW commands. OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range 0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page table, we grab and install that on... 16 Jun 2010 23:13
