Use WARN() instead of a printk+WARN_ON() pair; this way the message
becomes part of the warning section for better reporting/collection.

<title>isa: set 24-bit dma_mask for ISA devices</title>

<id>00412be1d7bdf451653c7dafeb09f4f83398d756</id>
<content type='text'>
dma_alloc_coherent() on x86 currently takes a passed in NULL device
pointer to mean that it should allocate an ISA compatible (24-bit) buffer
which is a bit of a hack.

The ALSA ISA drivers are the main consumers of this but have a struct
device in fact readily available.

For the legacy drivers, this sets the device dma_mask in preparation for
using the actual device with the DMA API so as to eventually not need the
NULL hack in dma_alloc_coherent().

This does not fix a current bug -- 2.6.26-rc1 stumbled over the NULL hack
in dma_alloc_coherent() but this has already been fixed in commit
4a367f3a9dbf2e7ffcee4702203479809236ee6e by Takashi Iwai.

<title>memory-hotplug: add sysfs removable attribute for hotplug memory remove</title>
<updated>2008-07-24T17:47:21+00:00</updated>

<id>5c755e9fd813810680abd56ec09a5f90143e815b</id>
<content type='text'>
Memory may be hot-removed on a per-memory-block basis, particularly on
POWER where the SPARSEMEM section size often matches the memory-block
size.  A user-level agent must be able to identify which sections of
memory are likely to be removable before attempting the potentially
expensive operation.  This patch adds a file called "removable" to the
memory directory in sysfs to help such an agent.  In this patch, a memory
block is considered removable if;

o It contains only MOVABLE pageblocks
o It contains only pageblocks with free pages regardless of pageblock type

On the other hand, a memory block starting with a PageReserved() page will
never be considered removable.  Without this patch, the user-agent is
forced to choose a memory block to remove randomly.

Sample output of the sysfs files:

./memory/memory0/removable: 0
./memory/memory1/removable: 0
./memory/memory2/removable: 0
./memory/memory3/removable: 0
./memory/memory4/removable: 0

<content type='text'>
This adds a new sysdev_ext_attribute that stores a pointer to the variable
it manages and some utility functions/macro to easily use them.

Previously all users wrote custom macros to generate show/store
functions for each variable, with this it is possible to avoid
that in many cases.

<title>sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function</title>

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
