The compiler warning

drivers/atm/firestream.c: In function ‘top_off_fp’:
drivers/atm/firestream.c:1505: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

does indicate a bug, albeit a minor one.  Fixed, by using a 32-bit
temporary prior to the call to bus_to_virt().

The larger bug is still present:  the entire driver assumes that machine
pointers are 32-bit, as it stores pointers in 32-bit hardware registers.
This is obvious to anyone who knows the driver well, but for the casual
readers it is helpfully noted with FIXME.

Make a "menuconfig" out of the Kconfig objects "menu, ..., endmenu",
so that the user can disable all the options in that menu at once
instead of having to disable each option separately.

<title>PCI: Cleanup the includes of &lt;linux/pci.h&gt;</title>

I noticed that many source files include &lt;linux/pci.h&gt; while they do
not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.

In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
files including &lt;linux/pci.h&gt; but without any other occurence of "pci"
or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
false positives manually.

My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
positives remaining. Untested files are:

arch/alpha/kernel/err_common.c
arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev6.c
arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev7.c
arch/ia64/sn/kernel/huberror.c
arch/ia64/sn/kernel/xpnet.c

arch/ppc/8260_io/enet.c
arch/ppc/8260_io/fcc_enet.c

arch/ppc/syslib/ppc4xx_sgdma.c
arch/sh64/mach-cayman/iomap.c
arch/xtensa/kernel/xtensa_ksyms.c
arch/xtensa/platform-iss/setup.c
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91.c
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mpc.c
drivers/media/video/saa711x.c
drivers/misc/hdpuftrs/hdpu_cpustate.c
drivers/misc/hdpuftrs/hdpu_nexus.c
drivers/net/au1000_eth.c
drivers/net/fec_8xx/fec_main.c
drivers/net/fec_8xx/fec_mii.c

drivers/video/stifb.c
drivers/video/valkyriefb.c
include/asm-arm/arch-ixp4xx/dma.h
sound/oss/au1550_ac97.c

I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.

Note that this patch depends on another header fixup patch I submitted
to LKML yesterday:

So that it is also an offset from skb-&gt;head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb-&gt;{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.
