b449f63c8c [PATCH] drivers/pnp/: cleanups
This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- #if 0 the following unused global function:
  - core.c: pnp_remove_device
- #if 0 the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
  - card.c: pnp_add_card
  - card.c: pnp_remove_card
  - card.c: pnp_add_card_device
  - card.c: pnp_remove_card_device
  - card.c: pnp_add_card_id
  - core.c: pnp_register_protocol
  - core.c: pnp_unregister_protocol
  - core.c: pnp_add_device
  - core.c: pnp_remove_device
  - pnpacpi/core.c: pnpacpi_protocol
  - driver.c: pnp_add_id
  - isapnp/core.c: isapnp_read_byte
  - manager.c: pnp_auto_config_dev
  - resource.c: pnp_register_dependent_option
  - resource.c: pnp_register_independent_option
  - resource.c: pnp_register_irq_resource
  - resource.c: pnp_register_dma_resource
  - resource.c: pnp_register_port_resource
  - resource.c: pnp_register_mem_resource

Note that this patch #if 0's exactly one functions and removes no
functions.  Most it does is the #if 0 of EXPORT_SYMBOL's, so if any modular
code will use any of them, re-adding will be trivial.

Modular ISAPnP might be interesting in some cases, but this is more legacy
code.  If someone would work on it to sort all the issues out (starting
with the point that most users of __ISAPNP__ will have to be fixed)
re-enabling the required EXPORT_SYMBOL's won't be hard for him.

Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt to a separate file.  The dentry locking
bits are useful but do not fit into the VFS overview document as is.

cc7d1f8f96 [PATCH] VFS: update overview document
This patch updates the Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt document.  I
rearranged and rewrote parts of the introduction chapter and added better
headings for each section.  I also added a description for the inode
rename() operation which was missing and added links to some useful
external VFS documentation.
