2009-01-02remove ide-scsiFUJITA Tomonori
As planed, this removes ide-scsi. The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide CD drives, which eliminates the need for ide-scsi. ide-scsi has been unmaintained and marked as deprecated.

2009-01-01major.h: char-major number for OSD device driverBoaz Harrosh
We need a major for a char device for our OSD device driver. Attached is a proposed patch for the Documentation/devices.txt and include/linux/major.h files. I have allocated the *260* char device as it looked like the next available on the lanana.org web-site (http://lanana.org/docs/device-list/devices-2.6+.txt) Any number will do.

2008-12-31kill ->dir_notify()Al Viro
Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify(). The only instance (cifs) has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er, deficiencies someday be dealt with.

2008-12-31selinux: Deprecate and schedule the removal of the the compat_net functionalityPaul Moore
This patch is the first step towards removing the old "compat_net" code from the kernel. Secmark, the "compat_net" replacement was first introduced in 2.6.18 (September 2006) and the major Linux distributions with SELinux support have transitioned to Secmark so it is time to start deprecating the "compat_net" mechanism. Testing a patched version of 2.6.28-rc6 with the initial release of Fedora Core 5 did not show any problems when running in enforcing mode. This patch adds an entry to the feature-removal-schedule.txt file and removes the SECURITY_SELINUX_ENABLE_SECMARK_DEFAULT configuration option, forcing Secmark on by default although it can still be disabled at runtime. The patch also makes the Secmark permission checks "dynamic" in the sense that they are only executed when Secmark is configured; this should help prevent problems with older distributions that have not yet migrated to Secmark.

2008-12-30powerpc: Add device tree bindings for BCSR GPIO banksAnton Vorontsov
The patch adds bindings for BCSR GPIO banks, the bindings are used to describe particular BCSR registers that act as simple GPIO controllers. These GPIO banks might control power switches, SPI chip-selects, LEDs, etc. While at it, also fix "length" spelling error in the PIXIS FPGA bindings.

profile The Pinnacle 80e cannot be supported since Micronas yanked their driver support for the drx-j chipset at the last minute.
