acpi:glue.c Fix warning: variable 'ret' set but not used

Better would perhaps be: "dev%d: Failed to create ph... 31 Jul 2010 15:04

[PATCH 2/2] x86: remove CONFIG_4KSTACKS
These days 4 kilobytes of stack just aren't enough for reliably operation, and people using lots of threads have long switched to 32-bit kernels, so remove the CONFIG_4KSTACKS option.

[PATCH 1/2] x86: always use irq stacks
IRQ stacks provide much better safety against unexpected stack use from interrupts, at the minimal downside of slightly higher memory usage. Enable irq stacks also for the default 8k stack on 32-bit kernels to minimize the problem of stack overflows through interrupt activity. This is what the 64-bit kernel and v... 28 Jun 2010 08:24
