  • Reflect the current situation where David Miller
    is the sparc maintainer.

    I have tried to contact Bill on following adresses:

    wli@holomorphy.com
    wlirwin@us.ibm.com

    with no success and Bill has not been active on the
    sparclinux mailing list for a long time.

    As sparc and sparc64 are unified I unified the two entries
    in the MAINTAINERS file too.

  • As planed, this removes ide-scsi.

    The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide CD drives, which
    eliminates the need for ide-scsi. ide-scsi has been unmaintained and
    marked as deprecated.

  • Add myself as overall maintainer of the security subsystem (generally,
    components under the top-level security directory). This addresses
    the lack of an official maintainer for the increasing number of
    security projects being incorporated into the kernel.

  • As noted by John Linville, the RTL818X maintainers have "moved on", and the
    responsibilities for RTL8180 and RTL8187 have been split. This is the

  • Michael and Andrea have moved-on, so we shouldn't be bothering them
    about these drivers anymore.

    Actually, Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski, Hin-Tak Leung, and Larry Finger
    have been handling the rtl8187 stuff for a while. So, I would welcome a
    patch from one of them changing this to just RTL8180 and adding an
    RTL8187 entry with their names...

  • This adds a driver to the accelerometer sensor found in several HP
    laptops (under the commercial names of "HP Mobile Data Protection System
    3D" and "HP 3D driveguard"). It tries to have more or less the same
    interfaces as the hdaps and other accelerometer drivers: in sysfs and as
    a joystick.

    This driver was first written by Yan Burman. Eric Piel has updated it
    and slimed it up (including the removal of an interface to access to the
    free-fall feature of the sensor because it is not reliable enough for
    now). Pavel Machek removed few more features and switched locking from
    semaphore to mutex.

    Several people have contributed to the database of the axes.
