71f95cfbcf [PATCH] DocBook: revert xmlto use for .ps and .pdf documentation
As xmlto doesn't work for print documentation, we need docbook-utils again for
these targets.

This patch allows the user to choose the method he wants to use.  (I'm still
hoping that someone will fix passivetex ;-)

9e1e28da40 [PATCH] v4l: (963.1) hybrid v4l/dvb: remove duplicated code
The following patch caused some duplicated code in cx88-dvb.c:
[PATCH] v4l: 634: implemented tuner set standby on cx88 init

The cx88-dvb.c portion of this patch was already applied
in an earlier patch, entitled:
[PATCH] v4l: fixup on cx88_dvb for Dvico HDTV5 Gold

I love quilt and all, but AFAIK, no tool is 100% perfect for catching
oversights like this.

The non-overlapping portions of each of these patches are still needed, and
must not be discarded, so rather than reverting old patches, please just apply
this fixup patch to remove the duplicated code.

5ef1c49f8f [PATCH] aio: don't ref kioctx after decref in put_ioctx
put_ioctx's refcount debugging was doing an atomic_read after dropping its
reference when it wasn't the last ref, leaving a tiny race for another freeing
thread to sneak into.  This shifts the debugging before the ops, uses BUG_ON,
and reformats the defines a little.  Sadly, moving to inlines increased the
code size but this change decreases the code size by a whole 9 bytes :)

20dcae3243 [PATCH] aio: remove kioctx from mm_struct
Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx.  Their retrying, if
any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the
stack.

The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for
an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen.  No path which grabs an
iocb ref has access to sync iocbs.

If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of
the iocb using its on-stack reference.

Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx
instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third.  On a i386 testing box
the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.
