On x86, the order of prefix SEG_PREFIX, ADDR_PREFIX, DATA_PREFIX and
LOCKREP_PREFIX isn't fixed. Currently, gas generates
LOCKREP_PREFIX ADDR_PREFIX DATA_PREFIX SEG_PREFIX

I can fix irqbalance no problem, however I like the kernel approach as

On parisc, we have the issue that function call pointers are hugely
expensive, so we'd like to minimise their use in the interrupts.
Unfortunately, this involves directly calling the ack/eoi functions
instead of indirecting. To permit this without losing the advantages of
centrally managed irq cod
The ack_irq macro is unused and conflicts with James' work to template
the generic irq code. mask_irq and unmask_irq are also unused, so delete
those macros too.

Hi,
BrlTTY is a screen reader: it is a deamon run as root on machines used
by blind users for getting the content of the screen via braille or
speech.
BrlTTY, like other screen readers (susebl, yasr, ...) needs to open
/dev/tty0 for performing various actions, namely:
- VT_ACTIVATE
- GIO_UNISCRN

Hi,
Sometimes we could hotplug a PCIE device, which require more MMIO

My question is: is there a way for kernel to reserved more MMIO

I suggest you hash out the most obvious bugs in -mm.
Once it you have it in a reasonable shape, replace the drivers in
drivers/ieee1394 in one go.
Its just not worth the pain to switc

hardware directly."
The box is running fine with kernel 1.6.18.4.
