Ronald G. Minnich e3bcf5e278 lguest: avoid shared libraries mapped over guest memory
Some versions of ld.so mmap the shared libraries right in over guest
memory, so compile lguest statically by default.

[ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's
  physical memory.  Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is
  for 2.6.24. ]

-static is a simple fix. I expect this problem will be more common than we
like, as different distro's make different "improvements" to ld.so

H. Peter Anvin c3887cd725 [x86 setup] Document grub < 0.93 as broken
Grub older than 0.93 are broken when the kernel setup is bigger than
8K.  This was fixed in 2002, and 0.93 was the first grub version which
fixed this bug.

growing options to support using other test data patterns; this initial

Andrew Morton 57d4810ea0 revert "x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices"
Revert 7e92b4fc34.  It broke Sébastien Dugué's
machine and Jeff said (persuasively)

  This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of
  breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS."

  It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO.  Serial ports are something
  that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game.  My new Intel
  platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
  messing with serial port probing even more...  because...  just wait a year,
  and your box won't have a serial port either!  :)

  I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),
  but the probe change seems questionable.  That's sorta analagous to
  rewriting the floppy driver probe routine.  Sure you could do it...  but why
  risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?

  It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for
  something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade.

Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.
