28e02bac9c [PATCH] Add missing ifdef for VIA RNG code
Almost all the code for the VIA RNG is guarded with __i386__ #ifdefs,
the only exception being the enumeration of RNG types which is used to
index into the rng_vector ops array.  This patch adds an ifdef around
that for consistency and since the guard makes a difference when adding
new RNG types on non-i386 hardware.

2fe22a8bba [PATCH] pcmcia: add id for AMB8110 PC Card
The axnet_cs driver can support the AMB8110 PC Card, so add the id for it.

In the old pcmcia-cs config file, this card is listed with the comment "not
specific enough".  The last entry in the axnet_ids has the same comment.
They are disabled, and for good reason as it was originally identified by
the MANFID, and that is shared with several cards that use both the
pcnet_cs driver and axnet_cs driver.  I tried my AMB8110 with pcnet_cs, and
found that it works fine, and I cannot find a reason for either, except
that the old config file recommended axnet_cs.

9cff3372bf [PATCH] drivers/mtd/redboot.c: recognise a foreign byte sex partition table
The RedBoot boot loader writes flash partition tables containing native
byte sex 32 bit values.  When booting an opposite byte sex kernel (e.g.  an
LE kernel from BE RedBoot) the current MTD driver fails to handle the
partition table and therefore is unable to generate the correct partition
map for the flash.

So far as I am aware this problem is ARM specific, because only ARM
supports software change of the CPU (memory system) byte sex, however the
partition table parsing is in generic MTD code.  The patch below has been
tested on NSLU2 (an IXP4XX based system) with a patch,
10-ixp4xx-copy-from.patch (submitted to linux-arm-kernel - it's ARM
specific) required to make the maps/ixp4xx.c driver work with an LE kernel.

Builds of the patched system are in the 'unstable' release of OpenSlug and
UcSlugC available from www.nslu2-linux.org.  These builds are BE, the
archives at www.nslu2-linux.org and www.handhelds.org (see
monotone.vanille.de) can be built LE (currently DISTRO targets
nslu-ltu.conf for LE thumb uclibc (32 bit kernel) and nslu2-lau.conf,
nslu2-lag.conf for LE arm uclibc/glibc) and this patch has been tested
extensively will both BE and LE systems on the NSLU2 (including swapping
between BE and LE by reflashing from both RedBoot and Linux).

The patch recognises that the FIS directory (the partition table) is
byte-reversed by examining the partition table size, which is known to be
one erase block (this is an assumption made elsewhere in redboot.c).  If
the size matches the erase block after byte swapping the value then
byte-reversal is assumed, if not no further action is taken.  The patched
code is fail safe; should redboot.c be changed to support a partition table
with a modified size field the test will fail and the partition table will
be assumed to have the host byte sex.

If byte-reversal is detected the patch byte swaps the remainder of the 32
bit fields in the copy of the table; this copy is then used to set up the
MTD partition map.

a1415ee655 [PATCH] e1000: revert to single descriptor for legacy receive path
A recent patch attempted to enable more efficient memory usage by using
only 2kB descriptors for jumbo frames.  The method used to implement this
has since been commented upon as "illegal" and in recent kernels even
causes a BUG when receiving ip fragments while using jumbo frames.
This patch simply goes back to the way things were.  We expect some
complaints due to order 3 allocations failing to come back due to this
change.

051d3cbd96 [TG3]: Fix Sun tg3 variant detection.
Some Sun parts don't have PCI_VENDOR_ID_SUN in the subsystem
vendor ID.  So add another fallback test, which is the name
of the OBP firmware device tree node.  If it's a Sun part we'll
get "network", else it will be named "ethernet".

d904ffd6e0 [PATCH] Fix Specialix SX corruption
With the latest kernels, I experienced some strange corruption, some
'*****' being randomly inserted in the character flow, like this:

	ashes:~#
	ashes:~#
	a*******shes:~#
	ashes:~#
	ashes:~#

Further investigation shows that the problem was introduced during
Alan's "TTY layer buffering revamp" patch, the amount of data to be
copied being reduced after buffer allocation.  Moving the count fixup
around solves the problem.
