This patch enables direct kernel support for the Artemis

Since all communications with this camera are done via an

f8977d0a9b [PATCH] PCI fixup for Toshiba laptops and ohci1394
This is a fix for a bug I see on my Toshiba laptop, where the ohci1394
controller gets initialized improperly.  The patch adds two PCI fixups
to arch/i386/pci/fixup.c, one that happens early on to cache the value
of the PCI_CACHE_LINE_SIZE config register, and another that later
restores the value, along with a valid IRQ number and some BAR values.
I've tested it on my laptop, and it prevents me from running into what I
consider to be a major bug: IRQ 11 is disabled by the IRQ debug code,
causing my wireless to break.

Thanks to Rob for the original patch to ohci1394.c and Stefan for lots
of proofreading (and a last minute bug caught in review!) and additional
information collection.  I think the DMI system list is correct, but we
may need to add some more PCI IDs to the PCI_FIXUP macros over time.

1410dc1cef [PATCH] shpchp: detect SHPC capability before doing a lot of work
The shpc driver registers its probe function for all pci-pci
bridges in the system. Not all of them will be shpc capable, so
look for this capability early in the probe function and return
if there's no work to do on this bridge. The old shpc driver
did some initialization work on all bridges before detecting
that shpc is not supported and unwinds the work it's already done
in that case.

424600f970 [PATCH] shpchp: reduce dependence on ACPI
Reduce the SHPC hotplug driver's dependence on ACPI. We don't
walk the acpi namespace anymore to build a list of bridges and
devices. The remaining interaction with ACPI is to run the
_OSHP method to transition control of hotplug hardware from
system BIOS to the shpc hotplug driver, and to run the _HPP
method to get hotplug device parameters like cache line size,
latency timer and SERR/PERR enable from BIOS.

Note that one of the side effects of this patch is that shpchp
does not enable the hot-added device or its DMA bus mastering
automatically now. It expects the device driver to do that.
This may break some drivers and we will have to fix them as
they are reported.

b30197d2c0 [PATCH] PCI: ipr: Block config access during BIST
IPR scsi adapter have an exposure today in that they issue BIST to the adapter
to reset the card.  If, during the time it takes to complete BIST, userspace
attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus bridge will master abort the
access since the ipr adapter does not respond on the PCI bus for a brief
period of time when running BIST.  On PPC64 hardware, this master abort
results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device from the rest of the
system, making the device unusable until Linux is rebooted.  This patch makes
use of some newly added PCI layer APIs that allow for protection from
userspace accessing config space of a device in scenarios such as this.

e04b0ea2e0 [PATCH] PCI: Block config access during BIST
Some PCI adapters (eg.  ipr scsi adapters) have an exposure today in that they
issue BIST to the adapter to reset the card.  If, during the time it takes to
complete BIST, userspace attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus
bridge will master abort the access since the ipr adapter does not respond on

this master abort results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device
from the rest of the system, making the device unusable until Linux is
rebooted.  This patch is an attempt to close that exposure by introducing some
blocking code in the PCI code.  When blocked, writes will be humored and reads
will return the cached value.  Ben Herrenschmidt has also mentioned that he
plans to use this in PPC power management.

and in a rather tricky way, which is why this patch comes with

As enabling PEC causes a significant performance drop, it can be
disabled through a sysfs file (unsurprisingly named "pec").

585b3160f8 [PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 3 of 3
The new SMBus PEC implementation doesn't support PEC emulation on
non-PEC non-I2C SMBus masters, so we can drop all related code.

421ef47be2 [PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 2 of 3
This is my rewrite of the SMBus PEC support. The original
implementation was known to have bugs (credits go to Hideki Iwamoto
for reporting many of them recently), and was incomplete due to a
conceptual limitation.

The rewrite affects only software PEC. Hardware PEC needs very little
code and is mostly untouched.

Technically, both implementations differ in that the original one
was emulating PEC in software by modifying the contents of an
i2c_smbus_data union (changing the transaction to a different type),
while the new one works one level lower, on i2c_msg structures (working
on message contents). Due to the definition of the i2c_smbus_data union,
not all SMBus transactions could be handled (at least not without
changing the definition of this union, which would break user-space
compatibility), and those which could had to be implemented
individually. At the opposite, adding PEC to an i2c_msg structure
can be done on any SMBus transaction with common code.

Advantages of the new implementation:

* It's about twice as small (from ~136 lines before to ~70 now, only
  counting i2c-core, including blank and comment lines). The memory
  used by i2c-core is down by ~640 bytes (~3.5%).

* Easier to validate, less tricky code. The code being common to all
  transactions by design, the risk that a bug can stay uncovered is
  lower.

* All SMBus transactions have PEC support in I2C emulation mode
  (providing the non-PEC transaction is also implemented). Transactions
  which have no emulation code right now will get PEC support for free
  when they finally get implemented.

* Allows for code simplifications in header files and bus drivers
  (patch follows).

Drawbacks (I guess there had to be at least one):

* PEC emulation for non-PEC capable non-I2C SMBus masters was dropped.
  It was based on SMBus tricks and doesn't quite fit in the new design.
  I don't think it's really a problem, as the benefit was certainly
  not worth the additional complexity, but it's only fair that I at
  least mention it.

Lastly, let's note that the new implementation does slightly affect
compatibility (both in kernel and user-space), but doesn't actually
break it. Some defines will be dropped, but the code can always be
changed in a way that will work with both the old and the new
implementations. It shouldn't be a problem as there doesn't seem to be
many users of SMBus PEC to date anyway.

b8095544bc [PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 1 of 3
Discard I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_*_PEC defines. i2c clients are not supposed to
check for PEC support of i2c bus drivers on individual SMBus
transactions, and i2c bus drivers are not supposed to advertise them.

eb00a28ae1 [PATCH] i2c: Drop unused parport i2c IDs
Drop unused i2c-over-parallel-port i2c IDs:
* I2C_HW_B_LPC was never actually used as far as I could search.
* I2C_HW_B_ELV and I2C_HW_B_VELLE are no more used since the
  introduction of the unified i2c-parport driver in Linux 2.6.2.
