ACPI is initialized very early on x86-64, before the DMI code is initialized. This means it would often discover a 0 year and then turn off ACPI because it thought the BIOS was too old. Some systems don't boot without ACPI so this was a problem. I have a full fix by adding new very early DMI detection, but it needs more testing before it can be merged. For 2.6.16 let's just turn the check off. It never made much sense anyways because there are no x86-64 systems older than 2002 or so and they generally all have working ACPI.

This makes x86-64 use the common X86_PM_TIMER Kconfig entry in drivers/acpi And since PM timer is needed for correct timing on a lot of systems now (e.g. AMD dual cores) and we often get bug reports from people who forgot to set it make it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. x86-64 had this change before and it's a good thing. I also fixed the description slightly to make this more clear. Cc: len.brown@intel.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
As the (probably) last user of a Specialix SI board, I noticed that recent kernels would fail to probe the sucker. Quick investigation indicate a few missing braces... I left the double probing in place, as it looks like it's been here forever. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@misterjones.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
There's a problem in sd where we blindly believe the length of the headers and block descriptors. Some devices return insane values for these and cause our length to end up greater than the actual buffer size, so check to make sure.

Minor number should be freed after del_gendisk(). Otherwise, there could be a window where 2 registered gendisk has same minor number.

The setcolreg function will attempt to write 24 color entries to the pseudo_pallette. However, the pseudo_palette has only space for 16 entries. Thanks to Atsushi Nemoto for reporting this bug.

Replaced the no longer existing io_remap_page_range() routine with the io_remap_pfn_range() routine. Did not have a chance yet to test the functionality of the driver, but at least the kernel compiles cleanly again.

Allocating more than 4 MB memory for the GBE (SGI O2) framebuffer completely breakfs gbefb support at the moment. According to comments on #mipslinux, more than 4 MB has never worked correctly in Linux. Therefore, the default should be 4 MB.
