[patch 1/2] x86, irq: update the vector domain for legacy irqs handled by io-apic
In the recent change of not reserving IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on all cpu's, we start with irq 0..15 getting directed to (and handled on) cpu-0. In the logical flat mode, once the AP's are online (and before irqbalance comes into picture), kernel intends to handle these IRQ's on any cpu (as the logical flat mo... 2 Feb 2010 22:03

[PATCH] virtio_blk: add block topology support
Allow reading various alignment values from the config page. This allows the guest to much better align I/O requests depending on the storage topology. Note that the formats for the config values appear a bit messed up, but we follow the formats used by ATA and SCSI so they are expected in the storage world. ... 2 Feb 2010 22:03

2.6.32 stalls as guest in virtualbox
Hello, Upgrading my 32bit guest systems running inside virtualbox from 2.6.27.y to 2.6.32.y made them unusable, they stall rather early in the boot process and eat 100% of the host CPU. The last visible message is | Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK. This also happens for 2.6.33-rc5. The problem might be the s... 2 Feb 2010 22:03

[PATCH 2/3] mfd: Add initial WM8994 support
The WM8994 is a highly integrated ultra low power audio hub CODEC. Since it includes on-board regulators and GPIOs it is represented as a multi-function device, though the overwhelming majority of the functionality is provided by the ASoC CODEC driver.
