max6875: Discard obsolete detect method

2009-10-04T20:53:41+00:00

There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the MAX6875, as
this device can't be detected. It was there solely to handle "force"
module parameters to instantiate devices, but now we have a better sysfs
interface that can do the same.

So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect callback.
This basically divides the binary module size by 2.

const: mark struct vm_struct_operations

2009-09-27T18:39:25+00:00

* mark struct vm_area_struct::vm_ops as const
* mark vm_ops in AGP code

But leave TTM code alone, something is fishy there with global vm_ops
being used.

spi: prefix modalias with "spi:"

2009-09-23T14:39:43+00:00

This makes it consistent with other buses (platform, i2c, vio, ...).  I'm
not sure why we use the prefixes, but there must be a reason.

This was easy enough to do it, and I did it.

kprobes: use do_IRQ() in lkdtm

2009-09-23T14:39:27+00:00

Current lkdtm code puts a probe on __do_IRQ for some of the kdump test
cases.  Since __do_IRQ is deprecated, change lkdtm code to use do_IRQ
function.
