i2c.h mentions -1 as a not-issued irq. This false hint was taken by
of_i2c and caused crashes. Don't give any advice as 'no irq' is not
consistent across all architectures yet and it is not needed internally
by the i2c-core.

fsync_buffers_list() and sync_dirty_buffer() both issue async writes and
then immediately wait on them. Conceptually, that makes them sync writes
and we should treat them as such so that the IO schedulers can handle
them appropriately.
This patch fixes a write starvation issue that Lin Ming reported, where
xx is stuck for more than 2 minutes because of a large number of
synchronous IO in the system:
INFO: task kjournald:20558 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this
message.

Lin Ming confirms that this patch fixes the issue. I've run tests with
it for the past week and no ill effects have been observed, so I'm
proposing it for inclusion into 2.6.26.

[PATCH] kernel/audit.c: nlh->nlmsg_type is gotten more than once
When an SKB cannot be chained to a session, the current code attempts
to "restore" its ip_summed field from lro_mgr->ip_summed. However,
lro_mgr->ip_summed does not hold the original value; in fact, we'd
better not touch skb->ip_summed since it is not modified by the code
in the path leading to a failure to chain it. Also use a cleaer
comment to the describe the ip_summed field of struct net_lro_mgr.

A bug in libsensors <= 2.10.6 is exposed
when this new hwmon I/F is enabled.
Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n
until some time after libsensors 2.10.7 ships
so those users can run the latest kernel.
libsensors 3.x is already fixed -- those users
can use CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=y now.

If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before
local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such
timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit.
It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done
with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen.
For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.
