set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with
init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().
This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed
to play around with page->_count.

sg increments the refcount of constituent pages in its higher order memory
allocations when they are about to be mapped by userspace. This is done so
the subsequent get_page/put_page when doing the mapping and unmapping does not
free the page.
Move over to the preferred way, that is, using compound pages instead. This
fixes a whole class of possible obscure bugs where a get_user_pages on a
constituent page may outlast the user mappings or even the driver.

SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure. However, that is not what happens. The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap(). Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.
Could we remove the whole thing? Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.
There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP. If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off. Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk. (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)
Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

Do not use platform_device_register_simple() as it is going away, define
dcdbas_driver and implement ->probe() and ->remove() functions so manual
binding and unbinding will work with this driver.
Also switch to using attribute_group when creating sysfs attributes and
make sure to check and handle errors; explicitely remove attributes when
detaching driver.

The patch does the following for v441xx seris drivers:
- stop using platform_device_register_simple() as it is going away
- mark ->probe() and ->remove() methods as __devinit and __devexit
respectively
- initialize "owner" field in driver structure so there is a link
from /sys/modules to the driver
- mark *_init() and *_exit() functions as __init and __exit

Update the serial_txx9 driver.
* More strict check in verify_port. Cleanup.
* Do not insert a char caused previous overrun.
* Fix some spin_locks.
* Do not call uart_add_one_port for absent ports.
Also, this patch removes a BROKEN tag from Kconfig. This driver has been
marked as BROKEN by removal of uart_register_port, but it has been solved
already on Sep 2005.

The code that handles bios that span table target boundaries by breaking
them up into smaller bios will not split an individual struct bio_vec into
more than two pieces. Sometimes more than that are required.
This patch adds a loop to break the second piece up into as many pieces as
are necessary.

All accessor's different methods are now selected with C code and unused
ones statically optimized away at compile time instead of being selected
with #if's and #ifdef's. This has many advantages such as allowing the
compiler to validate the syntax of the whole code, making it cleaner and
easier to understand, and ultimately allowing people to define
configuration symbols in terms of variables if they really want to
dynamically support multiple bus configurations at the same time (with
the unavoidable performance cost).

Boards with multiple PHYs were not being handled properly by the pcnet32
driver. This patch by Thomas Bogendoerfer with changes by me will allow
Allied Telesyn 2700FTX and 2701FTX boards to use either the copper or
the fiber interfaces. It has been tested on ia32 and ppc64 hardware.
Philippe Seewer also tested and improved the patch.
ethtool for pcnet32 already supports multiple phys.
