[PATCH] Add intel drm blacklist to intel_opregion_present detect
There have some machines not support by i915 drm driver, e.g. MSI U110/U150, there are use poulsbo chip and drm driver not support it because legal issue. Those machines's acpi backlight control actually work fine and don't need apply the intel opregion support. So, add intel drm blacklist to intel_opregion_present... 10 Jul 2010 21:31

[PATCH]: partially fixes APIC interrupts to almost eliminate usb ohci hang on Nvidia MCP78S (nForce7xx, 8200, etc...) chipsets - help needed to fix this fully
Hello, long history short: the io_apic2.patch provides two kernel parameters: nofasteoiapic - replaces fasteoi handler with level one for all fasteoi interrupts. nofasteoiapic=<list of irqs numbers> - replaces fasteoi handler with level for given irqs. This parameter does not work yet. I made mistake in ... 10 Jul 2010 20:25

Calling system call from User-mode Linux?
I'm trying to add some functionality to User-mode Linux that requires the UML kernel to call a custom syscall I've added to the host kernel. This should be technically possible since UML runs in the userspace, but I can't figure out how to call the syscall, as the syscall() function isn't defined in UML. Are there ... 10 Jul 2010 18:13

[PATCH 3/3] sound: push BKL into open functions
This moves the lock_kernel() call from soundcore_open to the individual OSS device drivers, where we can deal with it one driver at a time if needed, or just kill off the drivers. All core components in ALSA already provide adequate locking in their open()-functions and do not require the big kernel lock, so t... 10 Jul 2010 18:13
