  • Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
    is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
    replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
    context.

    There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
    kernels that are being removed.

  • Remove last traces of our kerntypes patch which was always an addon
    patch which never got upstream. Somehow a few bits got upstream
    anyway.
    Since kerntypes aren't used anymore and lcrash isn't maintained (for
    s390 at least) remove the last traces of kerntypes that somehow went
    upstream. Also remove the documentation that mentions lcrash.

  • Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
    updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
    Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
    the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
    Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
    on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
    to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

  • This patch introduces a proc file cio_settle. A write request to
    this file is blocked until all queued cio actions are handled.

    This will allow userspace to wait for pending work affecting
    device availability after changing cio_ignore or the hardware
    configuration.

  • s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI
    disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first
    32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is
    booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from
    Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to
    userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to
    Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.
