This adds uevent support to ibmebus using the generic of_device_uevent()
function.

I split this change into a separate patch because it depends on another
patch against 2.6.20, submitted by Sylvain Munaut:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxpp
This adds two sysfs attributes to /sys/bus/ibmebus which can be used to
notify the ebus driver of added / removed ebus devices in the OF device
tree.
Echoing the device's location code (as found in the OFDT "ibm,loc-code"
property) into the "probe" attribute will notify ebus of addition of the

This fixes a lot of whitespace in ibmebus.[ch]

No dependencies on other patches except for part 3/3.
This is a repost of my earlier patchset and fixes a stupid

This patch simplifies the get_cycles_sync() function by removing
the #ifdefs from it. Further it introduces an optimization for AMD
processors. There the RDTSCP instruction is used instead of CPUID;RDTSC
which is helpfull if the kernel runs as a KVM guest. Ru

Looks good to me, but
This series of patches extend the alternative instructions framework on
i386 and x86_64 architectures to support two alternative instruction
replacements. This code is used together with the introduction of the
X86_FEATURE_SYNC_RDTSC flag on i386 to simplify and optimize the
get_cycles_sync() funct
Note that I am amazed that the kernbench even worked.
The results without slub_debug were not good except for IA64. x86_64 and
ppc64 both blew up for a variety of reasons. The IA64 results were

Is it right place for serial settings?

How far is it reasonable to split termios settings to the attributes?

I've been considering how to deal with the SYSV SHM problem, and I think we
may have to move to unshared VMAs in NOMMU mode to deal with this. Currently,
what we have is each mm_struct has in its arch-specific context argument a
list of VMLs. Take the FRV context for example:

The ones in drivers/net/ are just local driver debug controls.
They happen to have the same name as a (likely newer) kconfig symbol.
