Currently I am doing lots of refactoring work in the dvb tree. This
bugfix became necessary to fix 2.6.17 whilst I was in the middle of this
work. Unfortunately after I tested the original code for the patch, I
generated the diff against the wrong tree (I accidentally used a tree
with part of the refactoring code in it). This resulted in the reported
compile errors because that tree (a) was incomplete, and (b) used
features which are simply not in the mainline kernel yet.

Many apologies for the error and problems this has caused. :(

The Intel(R) PRO/1000 82572EI card is fully supported by 7.0.33-k2 and
onward.  Add the device ID so this card works with 2.6.17.y onward. This
device ID was accidentally omitted.

At least Maxtor OneTouch III require a "start stop unit" command after
auto spin-down before the next access can proceed.  This patch activates
the responsible code in scsi_mod for all Maxtor SBP-2 disks.

Maybe that should be done for all SBP-2 disks, but better be cautious.

This patch (as753) fixes the way uhci-hcd handles a short packet when it
is the last packet of an URB.  Right now the driver handles short packets
the same no matter when they occur.  However, the controller stops
transferring packets when the short packet is not the last one (otherwise
it would be reading beyond the end of the device's data) and needs to be
restarted, whereas no such need occurs when the short packet is the last
one.

The result of the bug is that USB endpoint queues experience intermittent
hangs, a regression in 2.6.17 with respect to earlier kernels.  The bug
was raised in Bugzilla #6752 and this patch fixed it.

If the sky2 driver decides to defer processing because it's NAPI
packet quota is done, then it won't correctly handle the rest
when it is rescheduled.

The scx200_acb i2c bus driver pretends to support SMBus block
transactions, but in fact it implements the more simple I2C block
transactions. Additionally, it lacks sanity checks on the length
of the block transactions, which could lead to a buffer overrun.

This fixes an oops reported by Alexander Atanasov:

Fix the scx200_acb state machine:

* Nack was sent one byte too late on reads >= 2 bytes.
* Stop bit was set one byte too late on reads.

Doing a sysrq over a serial line into an SMP machine presently deadlocks.
