[PATCH] drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c: Add rumble support for original xbox controller
This will add rumble support for xbox 1 compatible controllers. I am wondering why XTYPE_XBOX360W is excluded from the rumbling action, however as I have no device to test, I have not touched this. --- /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.33/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c 2010-01-08 02:56:59.365851076 +0100 +++ xpad.c 2010-0... 7 Jan 2010 22:31

Can we remove pci_find_device() yet?
Hi all, This interface has been deprecated since November 2006, so can something be done about the last users (I think only some ISDN drivers)? Or should we just remove the interface and mark those drivers BROKEN (and maybe move them to staging)? -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr(a)canb.auug... 20 Jan 2010 10:38

[PATCH] drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c: use %pMF to show MAC address

[PATCH 6/6] perf tools: Encode kernel module mappings in perf.data
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme(a)redhat.com> We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules, even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at all, right Peter? ... 7 Jan 2010 18:04
