8672d57138 [IDE] Use the block layer deferred softirq request completion
This patch makes IDE use the new blk_complete_request() interface.
There's still room for improvement, as __ide_end_request() really
could drop the lock after getting HWGROUP->rq (why does it need to
hold it in the first place? If ->rq access isn't serialized, we are
screwed anyways).

ff856bad67 [BLOCK] ll_rw_blk: Enable out-of-order request completions through softirq
Request completion can be a quite heavy process, since it needs to
iterate through the entire request and complete the bio's it holds.
This patch adds blk_complete_request() which moves this processing
into a dedicated block softirq.

64ca9004b8 [PATCH] Make vm86 support optional
This adds an option to remove vm86 support under CONFIG_EMBEDDED.  Saves
about 5k.

This version eliminates most of the #ifdefs of the previous version and
instead uses function stubs in vm86.h.  Also, release_vm86_irqs is moved
from asm-i386/irq.h to a more appropriate home in vm86.h so that the stubs
can live together.

f756d5e256 [PATCH] fix workqueue oops during cpu offline
Use first_cpu(cpu_possible_map) for the single-thread workqueue case.  We
used to hardcode 0, but that broke on systems where !cpu_possible(0) when
workqueue_struct->cpu_workqueue_struct was changed from a static array to
alloc_percpu.

Commit id bce61dd49d ("Fix hardcoded cpu=0 in
workqueue for per_cpu_ptr() calls") fixed that for Ben's funky sparc64
system, but it regressed my Power5.  Offlining cpu 0 oopses upon the next
call to queue_work for a single-thread workqueue, because now we try to
manipulate per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, 1), which is uninitialized.

So we need to establish an unchanging "slot" for single-thread workqueues
which will have a valid percpu allocation.  Since alloc_percpu keys off of
cpu_possible_map, which must not change after initialization, make this
slot == first_cpu(cpu_possible_map).

bfc090c468 [PATCH] afs: remove unnecessary __attribute__((packed))
Remove the unnecessary __attribute__((packed)) since the enum itself is packed
and not the location of it in the structure.

6a878184c2 [PATCH] Eliminate __attribute__ ((packed)) warnings for gcc-4.1
Since version 4.1 the gcc is warning about ignored attributes. This patch is
using the equivalent attribute on the struct instead of on each of the
structure or union members.

GCC Manual:
  "Specifying Attributes of Types

   packed
    This attribute, attached to struct or union type definition, specifies
    that
    each member of the structure or union is placed to minimize the memory
    required. When attached to an enum definition, it indicates that the
    smallest integral type should be used.

    Specifying this attribute for struct and union types is equivalent to
    specifying the packed attribute on each of the structure or union
    members."

d8a3349667 [PATCH] parport: bring back an unused phase for ppdev ioctl
Earlier fix removed unused phase, but that changed the values for other
phases.  Since these are exposed to userspace through ppdev, it is safer
not to change them.  Restore the unused phase value.

- handle failures when create_workqueue and kthread_create are called
- use kzalloc instead of kmalloc/memset 0
- v9fs_str_copy and v9fs_str_compare were buggy, were used only in one

If a 9pfs server crashes, v9fs_fd_close() is called.  Subsequently, in
cleaning up by performing a umount() on the FS that was provided by this
server v9fs_fd_close() is called again, and uses the old, freed valus of
trans->priv.  This patch ensures that trans->priv can be freed only once,
otherwise this function bails early.

59d9136b98 [PATCH] aio: reorder kiocb structure elements to make sync iocb setup faster
Reorder members of the kiocb structure to make sync kiocb setup faster.  By
setting the elements sequentially, the write combining buffers on the CPU
are able to combine the writes into a single burst, which results in fewer
cache cycles being consumed, freeing them up for other code.  This results
in a 10-20KB/s[*] increase on the bw_unix part of LMbench on my test
system.

* The improvement varies based on what other patches are in the system,
  as there are a number of bottlenecks, so this number is not absolutely
  accurate.
