    the ->ioctl file operation in the drivers directory
    (except from v4l drivers).

  • Drop the bkl from nvram_llseek() as it obviously protects nothing. The
    file offset is safe in essence.

    The ioctl can be converted to unlocked_ioctl because it just calls
    pmac_get_partition() which reads a value from an array which was
    initialized at early boot time. No need for serialization.

  • Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • 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!
