[PATCH -tip 5/9] perf probe: Use elfutils-libdw for analyzing debuginfo
Masami Hiramatsu wrote: Newer gcc introduces newer & richer debuginfo, and only libdw in elfutils project can support it. So perf probe moves onto elfutils-libdw from libdwarf.

[PATCH] unusual_devs.h: Fix capacity for SL11R-IDE 2.6c
SL11R-IDE 2.6c (at least) reports wrong capacity (one sector more). Reading that last sector causes the device not to work anymore (and looks like HAL or something does that automatically after plugging in): sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Device not ready sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc... 21 Feb 2010 16:00

[PATCH 4/8] firewire: ohci: reorder struct fw_ohci for better cache efficiency
The config_rom struct members are only accessed during relatively infrequent self-ID-complete interrupts and only if the local config ROM was changed, while the ar_, at_, ir_, it_ members are used very frequently during I/O. Hence move the config_rom members further down. More importantly, make the huge self_id_... 21 Feb 2010 12:38
