80871e63e4 e1000: add shutdown handler back to fix WOL
Someone was waaay too aggressive and removed e1000's reboot notifier
instead of porting it to the new way of the shutdown handler.  This change
broke wake on lan.  Add the shutdown handler back in using the same method
as e100 uses.

087377a430 [PATCH] tpm: fix bug for TPM on ThinkPad T60 and Z60
The TPM chip on the ThinkPad T60 and Z60 machines is returning 0xFFFF for
the vendor ID which is a check the driver made to double check it was
actually talking to the memory mapped space of a TPM.  This patch removes
the check since it isn't absolutely necessary and was causing device
discovery to fail on these machines.

0fba3a1f39 [PATCH] PowerMac: force only suspend-to-disk to be valid
For a very long time, echoing 'standby' or 'mem' into /sys/power/state has
killed the machine on powerpc.  This patch fixes that.

This patch adds the .valid callback to pm_ops on PowerMac so that only the
suspend to disk state can be entered.  Note that just returning 0 would
suffice since the upper layers don't pass PM_SUSPEND_DISK down, but we
handle it there regardless just in case that changes.

ab28b171ea IB/mthca: Fix posting lists of 256 receive requests to SRQ for Tavor
If we post a list of length exactly a multiple of 256, nreq in
doorbell gets set to 256 which is wrong: it should be encoded by 0.
This is because we only zero it out on the next WR, which may not be
there.  The solution is to ring the doorbell after posting a WQE, not
before posting the next one.

This is the same bug that we just fixed for QPs with non-shared RQ.

b964638ffd JFS: Fix multiple errors in metapage_releasepage
It looks like metapage_releasepage was making in invalid assumption that
the releasepage method would not be called on a dirty page.  Instead of
issuing a warning and releasing the metapage, it should return 0, indicating
that the private data for the page cannot be released.

I also realized that metapage_releasepage had the return code all wrong.  If
it is successful in releasing the private data, it should return 1, otherwise
it needs to return 0.

Lastly, there is no need to call wait_on_page_writeback, since
try_to_release_page will not call us with a page in writback state.

860f242eb5 [PATCH] ibmveth change buffer pools dynamically
This patch provides a sysfs interface to change some properties of the
ibmveth buffer pools (size of the buffers, number of buffers per pool,
and whether a pool is active).  Ethernet drivers use ethtool to provide
this type of functionality.  However, the buffers in the ibmveth driver
can have an arbitrary size (not only regular, mini, and jumbo which are
the only sizes that ethtool can change), and also ibmveth can have an
arbitrary number of buffer pools

Under heavy load we have seen dropped packets which obviously kills TCP
performance.  We have created several fixes that mitigate this issue,
but we definitely need a way of changing the number of buffers for an
adapter dynamically.  Also, changing the size of the buffers allows
users to change the MTU to something big (bigger than a jumbo frame)
greatly improving performance on partition to partition transfers.

The patch creates directories pool1...pool4 in the device directory in
sysfs, each with files: num, size, and active (which default to the
values in the mainline version).

Comments and suggestions are welcome...

This patch makes the needlessly global bus_speed[] static.
