d5172f263f [PATCH] x86_64: ignore machine checks from boot time
Don't log machine check events left over from boot.  Too many BIOSes leave
bogus events in there.

This unfortunately also makes it impossible to log events that caused a
reboot.  For people with non broken BIOS there is mce=bootlog

4dcef52400 [PATCH] v4l: oopsfix for BTTV on badly behaved PCI chipsets
no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets
(like some VIA) with these behaviors:

1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to
   handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force
   it to 0, to reenable (not recommended).

2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a
   workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c

fd3113e84e [PATCH] V4L: Miscellaneous fixes
- Fixed some bttv card numbers.

- BTTV and SAA7134 version numbers incremented to reflect changes.

- pci_dma_supported() is called after pci_set_dma_mask() which
  already did check that for us. This patch removes the unneeded call to
  pci_dma_supported() at bttv-driver.c

- Ensure a sufficient I2C bus idle time between 2 messages for
  saa7134-i2c.c

- It is important to write at first to MO_GP3_IO for cx88-tvaudio.c

- Use try_to_freeze() instead of refrigerator at msp3400.c

- Recognizing the MFPE05-2 Tuner at tveeprom.c

- Add new parameter to help identify radio chipsets at tuner module:
  show_i2c=1 will show 16 reading bytes from detected tuners.

- BTTV does generate some Unimplemented IOCTL log at tuner module:
  0x40046d11(dir=1,tp=0x6d,nr=17,sz=4) means that it is sending
  MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated.
  VIDIOSAUDIO is also called, so debug messages updated. It is still
  requiring IOCTL implementation.

- Added two more tuners.

- Add support for the SVideo input on the GDI Black Gold.

0eeca28300 [PATCH] inotify
inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:

        * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
          that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
          open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
        * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
          directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
          the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
          stat structures.
        * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful.  Signals?

inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:

        * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
	  You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
        * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
          you were watching is on was unmounted."
        * inotify can watch directories or files.

Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible.
A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is
a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data.
I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such
