Hello list,
There is a "ttyS1 irq is -1" problem observed on tiger4 which cause
the serial port broken.
It is because that there is __no__ ACPI IRQ resource assigned for the
serial port. So the value of the IRQ for the port is never changed
since it got initialized to -1. The attached patch falls

Original single patch is now broken out into tiny pieces for easier review.
Also, valuable feedback from Ted has been incorporated,
to avoid any possible side effects on regular use of
the PCIe hotplug stuff (when used without pciehp_force=1 mod parm).

Fix PCIe Hotplug so that it works

Redefine dma_flags_set/get_*() for sn-ia64.
dma_flags_set_attr() "borrows" bits from the dma_map_* routines'
direction arguments (renamed "flags"). It uses the borrowed bits
to pass additional attributes.
dma_flags_get_dir() and dma_flags_get_attr() return the direction
and attributes that
Introduce the dma_flags_set/get_*() interfaces and give them
default implementations.
Architectures which allow DMA to be reordered between a device and
host memory (within a NUMA interconnect) can redefine these to allow
a driver to explicitly synchronize DMA from the device when necessary.

Mostly fixes, except a couple things from Stephen H and myself.
Please pull from 'upstream-linus' branch of

Hi,
I tried to send this to netdev and various maintainers, but
they seem not to have seen it.
Please add to -mm and have it merged somewhere.
The xl_laa array is just 6 bytes long, so we should substract
10 from the index, like is also done some lines above already.

Hi Gautham,
I can't see where you re-initialize the completion.

I mean "in current kernel" (I checked it in 2.6.22)

Fix an argument name in do_sys_open()'s prototype.

Well, I am now running a 2.6.22 (without cfs) and could now see it once
(within a month...) that exactly the same message from konqueror was

So I think its a general problem of konqueror that was hidden and
somehow its triggered much more often with the cfs.
I just wonder why nobody
