Great! FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using
the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I
haven't seen any failures yet. So I tend to believe that your "should
be" actually means "is" :)

This patch adds a new driver for "Option" cards. This is a GSM data card,
controlled by three "serial ports" which are connected via an OHCI adapter,
all located on an oversized PC-Card. It's sold by several GSM service
providers.
Traditionally, this card has been accessed via the standard serial driver
and appropriate vendor= and product= options. However, testing has
revealed several problems with this approach, including hung data transfers
and lost data blocks when receiving.
Therefore, I've written a separate driver.

The iseries has a bar graph on the front panel that shows how busy it is.
The operating system sets and clears a bit in the CTRL register to control
it.
Instead of going to the complexity of using a thread info bit, just set and

Also create two helper functions, ppc64_runlatch_on and ppc64_runlatch_off.

Fix a bug in list scanning that can cause us to skip the last buffer on the
checkpoint list (and hence fail to do any progress under some rather
unfavorable conditions).
The problem is we first do jh=next_jh and then test
} while (jh!=last_jh);
Hence we skip the last buffer on the list (if it was not the only buffer on
the list). As we already do jh=next_jh; in the beginning of the loop we
are safe to just remove the assignment in the end. It can happen that 'jh'
will be freed at the point we test jh != last_jh but that does not matter
as we never *dereference* the pointer.

This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64. It does the following things:
- Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now
simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
/proc with random result...
- Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
buggy and didn't always work anyway.
- Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
dentry and inode cache bloat.
This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

Apple's Open Firmware has a funny bug when creating the /cpus nodes
where it leaves a dangling '\0' character in the CPU name which ends up
appearing in the full path of the node. This is bogus and
confuses /proc/device-tree badly.
This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when
reading the device-tree from Open Firmware. The "name" property is not
modified and still contains the spurrious 0 (it basically contains 0
tailing 0 instead of one) but that shouldn't be a problem.
An equivalent patch for ppc32 will follow shortly
