[PATCH 48/67] serial: max3107: Abstract out the platform specific bits
From: Alan Cox <alan(a)linux.intel.com> At the moment there is only one platform type supported and there is is hard wired, but with these changes the infrastructure is now there for anyone else to provide methods for their hardware.

[PATCH 2/3] lib: vsprintf: optimised put_dec() for 32-bit machines
Existing put_dec() function uses a do_div() function for dividing the 64-bit argument. On 32-bit machines this may be a costly operation. This patch, replaces the put_dec() function on 32-bit processors to one that performs no 64-bit divisions. Signed-off-by: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86(a)mina86.com> --- lib/vs... 5 Aug 2010 19:10

[PATCH 18/67] synclink: kill the big kernel lock
From: Alan Cox <alan(a)linux.intel.com> We don't need it while waiting and we can lock the ioctls using the port mutex. While at it eliminate use of the hangup mutex and switch to the port mutex.

[PATCH 04/28] hotplug: Support kernel/hotplug sysctl variable when !CONFIG_NET
From: Ian Abbott <abbotti(a)mev.co.uk> The kernel/hotplug sysctl variable (/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file) was made conditional on CONFIG_NET by commit f743ca5e10f4145e0b3e6d11b9b46171e16af7ce (applied in 2.6.18) to fix problems with undefined references in 2.6.16 when CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y && !CONFIG_NET, but this rest... 5 Aug 2010 19:10

[PATCH 15/67] riscom8: kill use of lock_kernel
From: Alan Cox <alan(a)linux.intel.com> The riscom8 board uses lock_kernel to protect bits of the port setting ioctl logic. We can use the port mutex for this as the logic is internal and will also lock set versus open (a locking property that has been lost somewhere along the way) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@... 5 Aug 2010 19:09
