[PATCH 3/7] Update the [register,unregister]_memory routines
This patch moves the register/unregister_memory routines to avoid a forward declaration. It also moves the sysfs file creation and deletion for each directory into the register/ unregister routines to avoid duplicating it with these updates.

Hang observed while reading a block device using a simple block driver using the file as a back-end data store
Hi, I am trying to implement a block driver and facing an issue. Please find attached a simple code snippet which reproduces this hang. I have used and modified the Simple Block driver(sbull) example from Linux Device Drivers (3rd Ed) to simulate the problem. The example has been modified to use a file as the back... 12 Jul 2010 12:55

[PATCH 6/7] Update sysfs node routines for new sysfs memory directories
This patch updates the node sysfs directory routines that create links to the memory sections under each node. This update makes the node code aware that a memory sysfs directory can cover multiple memory sections.

[PATCH 1/2] serial: 8250_pci: add .probe member to struct pci_serial_quirk
This function, if present, is called early on by the 8250_pci probe; it can be used to reject devices meant for parport_serial. (The .init function cannot be used for this purpose, as it is also called by parport_serial.)
