This adds PCMCIA support for both MPC885ADS and MPC866ADS.

This is established not together with FADS, because 885 does not have
io_block_mapping() for BCSR area.
Also, some cleanups done both for 885ADS and MBX.

3b27e9421a [PATCH] pcmcia: properly handle static mem, but dynamic io sockets
Some PCMCIA sockets have statically mapped memory windows, but dynamically
mapped IO windows. Using the "nonstatic" socket library is inpractical for
them, as they do neither need a resource database (as we can trust the
kernel resource database on m68k and ppc) nor lots of other features of that
library. Let them get a small "iodyn" socket library (105 lines of code)
instead.

f8cfa618dc [PATCH] pcmcia: unify attach, EVENT_CARD_INSERTION handlers into one probe callback
Unify the EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and "attach" callbacks to one unified
probe() callback. As all in-kernel drivers are changed to this new
callback, there will be no temporary backwards-compatibility. Inside a
probe() function, each driver _must_ set struct pcmcia_device
*p_dev->instance and instance->handle correctly.

With these patches, the basic driver interface for 16-bit PCMCIA drivers
now has the classic four callbacks known also from other buses:

        int (*probe)            (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
        void (*remove)          (struct pcmcia_device *dev);

        int (*suspend)          (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
        int (*resume)           (struct pcmcia_device *dev);

fd586bacf4 [PATCH] net: swich device attribute creation to default attrs
Recent udev versions don't longer cover bad sysfs timing with built-in
logic. Explicit rules are required to do that. For net devices, the
following is needed:
  ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="address"
to handle access to net device properties from an event handler without
races.

This patch changes the main net attributes to be created by the driver
core, which is done _before_ the event is sent out and will not require
the stat() loop of the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS key.

Here's the patch for modalias support for input classes.  It uses

mod_devicetable.h, because there are so many that it might break compile
of something else in the kernel.

263756ec22 [PATCH] ide: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ...
IDE: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ...

Add MODULE_ALIAS to IDE midlayer modules: ide-disk, ide-cd, ide-floppy and
ide-tape, to autoload these modules depending on the probed media type of
the IDE device.

It is used by udev and replaces the former agent shell script of the hotplug
package, which was required to lookup the media type in the proc filesystem.
Using proc was racy, cause the media file is created after the hotplug event
is sent out.

The module autoloading does not take any effect, until something like the
following udev rule is configured:
  SUBSYSTEM=="ide",  ACTION=="add", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"

The module ide-scsi will not be autoloaded, cause it requires manual
configuration. It can't be, and never was supported for automatic setup in
the hotplug package. Adding a MODULE_ALIAS to ide-scsi for all supported
media types, would just lead to a default blacklist entry anyway.

  $ modinfo ide-disk
  filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko

It also adds attributes to the IDE device:

devices this occurs for the MDIO bus, whose registers tended to overlap

e22dafbcd7 [PATCH] klist: Fix broken kref counting in find functions
The klist reference counting in the find functions that use
klist_iter_init_node is broken.  If the function (for example
driver_find_device) is called with a NULL start object then everything is
fine, the first call to next_device()/klist_next increases the ref-count of
the first node on the list and does nothing for the start object which is
NULL.

If they are called with a valid start object then klist_next will decrement
the ref-count for the start object but nobody has incremented it.  Logical
place to fix this would be klist_iter_init_node because the function puts a
reference of the object into the klist_iter struct.

bf74ad5bc4 [PATCH] Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove
This patch (as604) makes the driver core hold a device's parent's lock
as well as the device's lock during calls to the probe and remove
methods in a driver.  This facility is needed by USB device drivers,
owing to the peculiar way USB devices work:

	A device provides multiple interfaces, and drivers are bound
	to interfaces rather than to devices;

	Nevertheless a reset, reset-configuration, suspend, or resume
	affects the entire device and requires the caller to hold the
	lock for the device, not just a lock for one of the interfaces.

Since a USB driver's probe method is always called with the interface
lock held, the locking order rules (always lock parent before child)
prevent these methods from acquiring the device lock.  The solution
provided here is to call all probe and remove methods, for all devices
(not just USB), with the parent lock already acquired.

Although currently only the USB subsystem requires these changes, people
have mentioned in prior discussion that the overhead of acquiring an
extra semaphore in all the prove/remove sequences is not overly large.

Up to now, the USB core has been using its own set of private
semaphores.  A followup patch will remove them, relying entirely on the
device semaphores provided by the driver core.

The code paths affected by this patch are:

	device_add and device_del: The USB core already holds the parent
	lock, so no actual change is needed.

	driver_register and driver_unregister: The driver core will now
	lock both the parent and the device before probing or removing.

	driver_bind and driver_unbind (in sysfs): These routines will
	now lock both the parent and the device before binding or
	unbinding.

	bus_rescan_devices: The helper routine will lock the parent
	before probing a device.

I have not tested this patch for conflicts with other subsystems.  As
far as I can see, the only possibility of conflict would lie in the
bus_rescan_devices pathway, and it seems pretty remote.  Nevertheless,
it would be good for this to get a lot of testing in -mm.

real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.

5f123fbd80 [PATCH] merge kobject_uevent and kobject_hotplug
The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these
days, netlink events are the default.

udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and
in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and
provide only one interface without all the options.

The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots
recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for
subsystem specific events.
Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to
notify about changes than sending events through the core.
The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to
userspace now.
