FRV: possibly bad unsigned comparison in show_backtrace()
In arch/frv/kernel/traps.c, show_backtrace(), if sp is 0 then the dump does not succeed because stop was set to 0 and unaltered when we reach the unsigned comparison: while (tos < stop) {...} The naming stop may on the other hand suggest that this is desired, is it?

classmate-laptop: use a single MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE to get correct aliases
Hello, Len Brown. I'd really like this patch below to go into 2.6.33, since it's needed to load the driver automatically. Any chance you'd apply it to your tree and send a pull request to Linus?

[PATCH] kmemcheck: Test the full object in kmemcheck_is_obj_initialized()
This is a fix for bug #14845 (bugzilla.kernel.org). The update_checksum() function in mm/kmemleak.c calls kmemcheck_is_obj_initialised() before scanning an object. When KMEMCHECK_PARTIAL_OK is enabled, this function returns true. However, the crc32_le() reads smaller intervals (32-bit) for which kmemleak_is_obj_in... 8 Feb 2010 06:41
