Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.
Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.
At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

Include fixes for 2.6.14-git11. Should allow to remove sched.h from
module.h on i386, x86_64, arm, ia64, ppc, ppc64, and s390. Probably more
to come since I haven't yet checked the other archs.

Unify the EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and "attach" callbacks to one unified
probe() callback. As all in-kernel drivers are changed to this new
callback, there will be no temporary backwards-compatibility. Inside a
probe() function, each driver _must_ set struct pcmcia_device
*p_dev->instance and instance->handle correctly.
With these patches, the basic driver interface for 16-bit PCMCIA drivers
now has the classic four callbacks known also from other buses:
int (*probe) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
void (*remove) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
int (*suspend) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
int (*resume) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);

The linked list of devices managed by each PCMCIA driver is, in very most
cases, unused. Therefore, remove it from many drivers.

Move the suspend and resume methods out of the event handler, and into
special functions. Also use these functions for pre- and post-reset, as
almost all drivers already do, and the remaining ones can easily be
converted.

the state to userspace and generates events.

I looked at the userspace code which uses the LPIOC_GET_DEVICE_ID ioctl
and I almost went blind. Let's export it in sysfs instead, and just as a
string instead of with a big-endian length at the beginning of it.
This also prints the message about finding the printer _after_ we know
the minor device number it's going to have, rather than reporting all
printers as 'usblp0'.

David has a G5 with a printer. I am quite surprised that nobody else noticed
this before. Linus has a G5. Hackers hate printing in general, maybe.
We do not use BKL anymore, because one of code paths had a sleeping call,
so we had to use a semaphore. I am sure it's safe to use unlocked_ioctl.
The new ioctls return long and retval is int. It looks completely fine to me.
We never want these extra bits, and the sign extension ought to work right.

Noticed that my zd1201 adapter isn't "seen" by hal and NetworkManager.
The problem seems to be that unlike other network device drivers I
checked, zd1201 does not do a SET_NETDEV_DEV(), which makes it so a
"device" symlink is created under /sys/class/net/wlan0.
With the following patch the device symlink shows up, and now I am
happily using NetworkManager to control the adapter:
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/wlan0
total 0

Fedora users complain that passing "nousbstorage" to the installer causes
the rest of the USB support to disappear. The installer uses kernel command
line as a way to pass options through Syslinux. The problem stems from the
use of strncmp() in obsolete_checksetup().
I used __module_param_call() instead of module_param because I wanted to
preserve the old syntax in grub.conf, and it's the only macro which allows
to remove the prefix.
The fix is tested to accept the option "nousb" correctly now.
