I think it's about time to make the build a little more vocal about the
expiry of these functions. Due to recent discussions with problems in
the console initialisation vs power manglement, I'd like to move the
date forward to September.Signed-off-by: Russell King

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

Make usbmon to print Setup packets of Control transfers. This is useful
when debugging enumeration issues.This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible.
A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is
a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data.
I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such
parsers exist at this point.Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev

The I2C stack has long had "id" fields, of rather dubious utility, in
many data structures. This removes mention of one of them from the
documentation about how to write an I2C driver, so that only drivers
that really need to use them (probably old/legacy code) will have any
reason to use this field.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

Schedule removal of the PCMCIA ioctl (and thus kernel support for the
pcmcia-cs userspace package) for November 2005.A big "thank you" to Dave Hinds for his great work on supporting PCMCIA in

PCMCIA behave like any other hotpluggable bus should continue.Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

* /usr/src/linux-2.6.12/Documentation/dvb/bt8xx.txt
almost completely remade the text file with the following focuses:
useful infos for beginners: how to load modules manually and
automatically developers infos are reduced to a minimum as module loading
works automatic in kernel >= 2.6.12 by loading modules bttv and dvb-bt8xx
I completely erased the out of date TwinHan part dealing with additional
parameters, debug parameters, and overriding autodetection Further up to
date information about TwinHan + clones can be found in
