[GIT PULL] Patches for 2.6.33-rc1

[Catalin Marinas]

Hi Russell,

There are some patches which were not pulled yet and it would be nice if
they get in during this merging window. Two of them are bug-fixes and
the other is the earlyprintk support which many people find useful.

My for-rmk branch was rebased to 2.6.32 to check what was already merged
but I can rebase it something earlier if you want.

Thanks.

It is so much helpful when people add proper prefixes to patches, like
ARM or something. I wander, do we have a requirement for this somewhere?
But please, consider doing this, this makes it easier surfing git-log or
gitk info.

It would be useful, indeed, so I haven't seen an official statement from
Russell on this (and I usually run gitk on specific directories). 

Traditionally we used the patch system which was adding a prefix but
since it cannot cope with a different author from the submitter, I just
use Git these days (I don't mind either way).

Well, for people like me who did not use the patch system long time
before and did not get accustomed to it, the system is looks very
ancient and sub-standard.

But since I'm not an ARM developer, I do complain about this. If ARM
people find the system good, and the standard lkml-sytle patch exchange
culture does not work for them - fine :)

Oh, sorry. I meant: I do *not* complain.

The patches are posted and review on this list as on LKML. The patch
system is used only for the final stage before being merged and only
after being acknowledged on the list. Just an alternative to git
request-pull.

I'd suggest using ARM: like the patch system does.  In general looking
at the logs for the directory/file you're updating and using the same
prefix as most of the commits works well.
