When not building an arch/powerpc kernel, the mpc5200 FEC driver depends
on some symbols which are not defined (BESTCOMM & BESTCOMM_FEC).
This patch flips around the dependancy logic so that it cannot be
selected unless BESTCOMM_FEC is selected first.

Here are some driver core bugfixes and tweaks for 2.6.24-rc1. It fixes
the much-reported sysfs traceback when renaming network devices when
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled.
There is also a documentation translation and typo fix, and some other
minor things.
Please pull from:
1) hardcoded 10 value is used five times in places where NSEC_PER_SEC
might be more readable.
2) A conversion from nsec to msec uses the hardcoded 100 value, which is a
candidate for NSEC_PER_MSEC.

Bug is in the new dev_ifname32:
uifr = compat_alloc_user_space(sizeof(struct ifreq));
if (copy_in_user(uifr, compat_ptr(arg), sizeof(struct ifreq32)));

Thank for your reply

that is ,the VM could be preempted by xen,and could xen hypervisor also
be preempted to reschedule other vm or xen kernel
Can this patchset be merged into mainline kernel? This patchset has been
in -mm tree from 2.6.23-rc2-mm2 on. Andrew Moton has suggested it to be
merged into 2.6.24 during early merge window of 2.6.24. It was not
merged into mainline because the 32-bit boot protocol has not been done.
But now, the

Move the instrumentation Kconfig to
arch/Kconfig for architecture dependent options
- oprofile
- kprobes
and
init/Kconfig for architecture independent options
- profiling
- markers
Remove the "Instrumentation Support" menu. Everything moves to "General setup".
