Hi Tejun, I think it would be a good idea to merge ahci upstream using the ahci_imx.c method for now. You already indicated that you were not against doing that for now. Oliver is working on getting a cleaner solution for this, but doing this properly takes tinme, and we would like to move

[PATCH 2/2] procfs: make /proc/*/pagemap 0400

The /proc/*/pagemap contain sensitive information and currently its mode is 0444. Change this to 0400, so the VFS will prevent unprivileged processes from getting file descriptors on arbitrary privileged /proc/*/pagemap files. Cc: Eric W. Biederman ebied...@xmission.com Cc: Kees Cook

I've manged to fix the Richards' driver - it now compiles with 3.13-rc3 and works - it readswrites both SD and SDHC cards. See the (ugly) patch below. It still needs a lot of work. The chip on the board is T7L65XB (can be seen after removing keyboard). diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/toshsd.c

This patch marks the function memstick_debug_get_tpc_name() as static in host/r592.c because it is not used outside this file. It also removes the EXPORT_SYMBOL because the function is not used anywhere else in the kernel. Thus, it also eliminates the following warning in host/r592.c:

Jens, ping? Patch looks fine, and it looks completely bogus to set null_mq_reg.nr_hw_queues to 'nr_online_nodes', when we've potentially done setup_queues() with just a single queue. So I'm going to apply this as-is, I'm just wondering why I haven't heard anything from you..
