[PATCH] memblock: Fix memblock_is_region_reserved() to return a boolean
All callers expect a boolean result which is true if the region overlaps a reserved region. However, the implementation actually returns -1 if there is no overlap, and a region index (0 based) if there is. Make it behave as callers (and common sense) expect.

CIFS: Make cifs_convert_address() take a const src pointer and a length
I merged this (patch 3) - but patch 4 (and thus patch 5) did not merge. Also patches 4 and 5 had trivial checkpatch warnings. Patch 6 looks afs related so should probably merge out of your tree, but it doesn't matter to me. What about patches 1 and 2 - which is easier?
