Let's put my money where my mouth is. Smaller code is almost always
faster, if only because a single I$ miss ends up leaving a lot of cycles
to make up for. And system software - kernels in particular - are known
for taking more cache misses than most other kinds.
On my random config, this made the kernel about 10% smaller, and lmbench
seems to say that it's pretty uniformly faster too. Your milage may vary.

ERR_SEVERITY item is defined as a 8 bits item in SAL documentation
($B.2.1 rev december 2003), but as an u16 in sal.h.
This has the side effect that current code in mca.c may not call
ia64_sal_clear_state_info() upon receiving corrected platform errors
if there are bits set in the validation byte. Reported by Xavier Bru.

Some hardware does not support the PACKET command at all.
Other hardware supports ATAPI, but the driver does something nasty such
as calling BUG() when an ATAPI command is issued.
For these such cases, we mark them with a new flag, ATA_FLAG_NO_ATAPI.
Initial version contributed by Ben Collins.
The drawing function cfbfillrect does not work correctly when access is not
unsigned-long aligned. It manifests as extra lines of pixels that are not
complete drawn. Reversing the shift operator solves the problem, so I would
presume that this bug would manifest only on little endian machines. The
function cfbcopyarea may also have this bug.
Aligned access should present no problems.

In slow imageblit, the pixel value is shifted by a certain amount (dependent
on the bpp and endianness) for each iteration. This is inefficient. Better
do the shifting once before going into the loop.

Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.
Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.
There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.
This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.
The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.
As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.

As reported by Keith Mannthey, there are problems in populate_memnodemap()
The bug was that the compute_hash_shift() was returning 31, with incorrect
initialization of memnodemap[]
To correct the bug, we must use (1UL << shift) instead of (1 << shift) to
avoid an integer overflow, and we must check that shift < 64 to avoid an
infinite loop.

On systems that do not support the HPET legacy functions (basically the IBM
x460, but there could be others), in time_init() we accidentally fall into a
PM timer conditional and set the vxtime_hz value to the PM timer's frequency.
We then use this value with the HPET for timekeeping.
This patch (which mimics the behavior in time_init_gtod) corrects the

They report all busses as MMCONFIG capable, but it never works for the
internal devices in the CPU's builtin northbridge.
It just probes all func 0 devices on bus 0 (the internal northbridge is
currently always on bus 0) and if they are not accessible using MCFG they are
put into a special fallback bitmap.
On systems where it isn't we assume the BIOS vendor supplied correct MCFG.

It's illegal because it can sleep.
Use a two step lookup scheme instead. First look up the vm_struct, then
change the direct mapping, then finally unmap it. That's ok because nobody

still in the global list.

So make it explicit in get_user_pages() that we don't follow VM_PFNMAP
pages, since pretty much by definition they do not have a "struct page"
associated with them.

The CSR contains garbage after a coldboot on RS/6000.
One some systems (like my 44p 270) the MAC address is all FF,
on others (like my B50) it is ff:ff:ff:fd:ff:6b.
It can eventually be fixed by loading pcnet32, set the interface
into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked
only on the 270.
Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address
via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable.
I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places. Remove
the special case for powerpc, which was added in early 2.4 development.
