[PATCH] mac8390: change an error return code and some cleanup, take 3
Change an error return code from -EAGAIN to -EBUSY since the former is misleading. Nubus slots are geographically addressed and their irqs are equally inflexible. -EAGAIN is misleading because retrying will not help fix whatever bug it was that made the irq unavailable. Also promote the log message. Likew... 16 Apr 2010 23:58

[PATCH 0/2] Change some config options to be automatically selected
Hello, Here are two patches, which have for goal to simplify in Kconfig the selection of the options WMI and BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE. Both are not something that anyone will want per se, but only some kind of libraries used by other modules. Some modules "selected" them while other just "depended on" them, so to ma... 16 Apr 2010 20:41

[PATCH 1/2] Make WMI be selected automatically when needed
Many different modules depend on WMI. In Kconfig, some used to "depend" on it, while others "selected" it. As WMI by itself is useless and more like a library, it's easier for the user to have it automatically selected whenever needed. It's especially true for options in completely different places (like LEDS_DELL_... 16 Apr 2010 20:41

[GIT PULL] iBFT features.
The iBFT firmware driver has seen some action this last month. Here is a short primer on what it is: The iBFT is an equivalant to the Boot Flag, except that its geared towards iSCSI and hence requires much more information (such as the IP of target, passwords, which device to login, etc). iBFT is a data structure ... 16 Apr 2010 19:33

[PATCH 2/4] ibft: For UEFI machines actually do scan ACPI for iBFT.
For machines with IBFT 1.03 do scan the ACPI table for 'iBFT' or for 'IBFT'. If the machine is in UEFI mode, only do the ACPI table scan. For all other machines (pre IBFT 1.03) do a memory scan if not found in the ACPI tables.

5 years of Linux development in Git
Dear kernel hackers & Git lovers, some of you might have noticed already that today we celebrate 5 years of Linux kernel development in Git. After looking for an alternative to Bitkeeper, Linus came up with his own solution and wrote that new tool he called Git. Exactly 5 years ago, Linus announced Linux-2.6.12-r... 16 Apr 2010 19:33
