e6a6784627 [PATCH] parport: move PP_MAJOR from ppdev.h to major.h
Today I wondered about /dev/parport<n> after not seeing anything in
drivers/parport register char-major-99.  Having PP_MAJOR in
include/linux/major.h would've allowed me to more quickly determine that it
was the ppdev driver driving these.

3d336aa257 [PATCH] rio driver rework continued #4
Third large chunk of code cleanup.  The split between this and #3 and #4 is
fairly arbitary and due to the message length limit on the list.  These
patches continue the process of ripping out macros and typedefs while cleaning
up lots of 32bit assumptions.  Several inlines for compatibility also get
removed and that causes a lot of noise.

the only exception being the enumeration of RNG types which is used to

that for consistency and since the guard makes a difference when adding

Further investigation shows that the problem was introduced during
Alan's "TTY layer buffering revamp" patch, the amount of data to be
copied being reduced after buffer allocation.  Moving the count fixup
around solves the problem.

fb5c594c2a [PATCH] Fix race condition in hvc console.
tty_schedule_flip() would schedule a thread that would call flush_to_ldisc().
If tty_buffer_request_room() gets called prior to that thread running --
which is likely in this loop in hvc_poll(), it would set the active flag
in the tty buffer and consequently flush_to_ldisc() would ignore it.

The result is that input on the hvc console is not processed.

This fix calls tty_flip_buffer_push (and flags the tty as
"low_latency").  The push to the ldisc thus happens synchronously.
