The regression test in lib/sort.c is currently worthless because the array
that is generated for sorting will be all zeros. This patch fixes things
so that the array that is generated will contain unsorted integers (that
are not all identical) as was probably intended.Signed-off-by Daniel Dickman

In include/asm-x86_64/string.h there are such comments:
/* Use C out of line version for memcmp */
#define memcmp __builtin_memcmp
int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count);This would mean that if the compiler does not decide to use __builtin_memcmp,
it emits a call to memcmp to be satisfied by the C out-of-line version in
lib/string.c. What happens is that after preprocessing, in lib/string.i you
may find the definition of "__builtin_strcmp".Actually, by accident, in the object you will find the definition of strcmp
and such (maybe a trick intended to redirect calls to __builtin_memcmp to the
default memcmp when the definition is not expanded); however, this particular
case is not a documented feature as far as I can see.Also, the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not work, so it's duplicated in the arch.
I simply added some #undef to lib/string.c and removed the (now duplicated)
exports in x86-64 and UML/x86_64 subarchs (the second ones are introduced by
another patch I just posted for -mm).Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso

In the new io infrastructure, all of our operators are expecting the
underlying device to be little endian (because the PCI bus, their main
consumer, is LE).However, there are a fair few devices and busses in the world that are
actually Big Endian. There's even evidence that some of these BE bus and
chip types are attached to LE systems. Thus, there's a need for a BE
equivalent of our io{read,write}{16,32} operations.The attached patch adds this as io{read,write}{16,32}be. When it's in,
I'll add the first consume (the 53c700 SCSI chip driver).Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
