Sorry for sitting on this so long, but it would be nice to get this in
before the pagemap stuff is too widespread. We couldn't pin down the
huge page support itself, but I figured we should get the format bits in
place.

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp>
The atmel_spi driver does not initialize clock polarity correctly (except for
at91rm9200 CS0 channel) in some case.
The atmel_spi driver uses gpio-controlled chipselect. OTOH spi clock signal
is controlled by CSRn.CPOL bit, but this register controls clock signal
correctly only in 'real transfer' duration. At the time of cs_activate()
call, CSRn.CPOL...

From: Ned Forrester <nforrester@whoi.edu>
Fixes a sequencing bug in spi driver pxa2xx_spi.c in which the chip select
for a transfer may be asserted before the clock polarity is set on the
interface. As a result of this bug, the clock signal may have the wrong
polarity at transfer start, so it may need to make an extra half transition
before the intended clock/data signals begin. (This probably m...

| Chris Wright | [patch 46/76] arcmsr: fix IRQs disabled warning spew
-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Mike Pagano <mpagano@gentoo.org>
As of 2.6.24, running the archttp passthrough daemon with the arcmsr
driver produces an endless spew of dma_free_coherent warnings:
WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma_64.c:169 dma_free_coherent()
It turns out that coherent memory is not needed, so commit 76d78300 by
Nick Cheng <nick.cheng@areca.com.tw> switched it to kmalloc (as well as
making a ...

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default
implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the
futex guts.
Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless
loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support.
Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxc...

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
When the futex init code fails to initialize the futex pseudo file system it
returns early without initializing the hash queues. Should the boot succeed
then a futex syscall which tries to enqueue a waiter on the hashqueue will
crash due to the unitilialized plist heads.
Initialize the hash queues before the filesystem.

Workaround for the FT232RL-based, Matrix Orbital VK204-25-USB serial port
added to the ftdi_sio driver.
The device has an invalid endpoint descriptor, which must be modified
before it can be used.

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Upstream commit: 21e43188f272c7fd9efc84b8244c0b1dfccaa105
Because we use shared tfm objects in order to conserve memory,
(each tfm requires 128K of vmalloc memory), BH needs to be turned
off on output as that can occur in process context.
Previously this was done implicitly by the xfrm output code.
That was lost when it became lockless. So we ne...

This reverts commit 5fb7ba76544d95bfa05199f7394a442de5660be7.
It was incorrectly added to the .24.y stable tree and causes build

commit 7d5d408c77cee95d1380511de46b7a4c8dc2211d
