Ok, our dear master.kernel.org seems to be back from the dead, which means 
that I can punish it some more and upload stuff to it again. 

2.5.46 merges some more stuff (yeah, I still have stuff in my mailbox, but
I'm calmer now that I don't forsee any more huge issues), and is pretty
much all over the map. Merges with Alan, Al and Andrew, and m68k stuff
from Geert. Sysfs from Pat, and ext2/3 updates from Ted.

		Linus

Russell King <rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>:
  o [ARM] Fix init section naming 2.5.44 changed .text.init to
    .init.text (and other similar section names).  This cset fixes the
    ARM parts to work with the new names.
  o [ARM] Fix ARM IRQ probe code
  o [ARM] Fix another usage of the now defunct 'tick'
  o [ARM] Add kallsyms support for ARM This cset adds support for
    kallsyms for the ARM kernel, and ensures that we have a reliable
    function prolog for backtracing.
  o [ARM] Only decend into mach-* if $(MACHINE) is defined
  o [ARM] Fix up some ARM PCI handling
  o [ARM] Make ARMv5 architecture select ARMv4 rather than ARMv3 IO
  o [ARM] Miscellaneous fixes
  o [ARM] Re-work L1 pagetable bit handling
  o [ARM] Replace __backtrace() with dump_stack()
  o [ARM] 2.5.45 updates
  o [SERIAL] Rename uart_event() to uart_write_wakeup() uart_event()
    only has one purpose, which is to wake up any pending writers via
    the line discipline.  Rename it to reflect its real functionality,
    and drop EVT_WRITE_WAKEUP.
  o [SERIAL] Remove struct pci_board from init_fn Traditionally, we
    allocated the private array of port parameters based on the
    detected board->num_ports, and then called the init_fn with the
    board pointer (which points into the global table.)  Some init_fn
    implementations modify num_ports, which therefore affects the
    global table.  Unfortunately, this means that if the init_fn
    increases num_ports (because we have two almost identical cards,
    the first with a smaller number of ports than the second), we will
    overwrite memory which hasn't been allocated to us.
  o [SERIAL] Fix two incorrect uses of __FUNCTION__
  o [SERIAL] Fix up 8250 IRQ chain handling
  o [SERIAL] Fix up formatting of serial names The tty layer's tty_name
    requires formatting codes in driver->name for the devfs and
    non-devfs cases.
  o [SERIAL] Make ALPHA_KLUDGE_MCR more generic for bluetooth modems,
    etc In addition to the Alpha OUT1/OUT2 kludge, devices like
    Bluetooth modems connected to serial ports make use of the modem
    control lines in non-standard ways.  Therefore, we implement a more
    flexible way to allow the modem control outputs to be forced to
    particular values irrespective of the normal usage of these
    signals.
  o [SERIAL] Tidy up 8250 port type detection The original port
    detection code was one large function with many tests without any
    clear structure.
  o [SERIAL] Fix build errors and warnings
  o [SERIAL] Set port->type to unknown only when using autoconfig
  o [SERIAL] [PARISC] add support for GSC serial Add discovery for
    PA-RISC 16550 serial ports.
  o [ARM] Fix various build errors in bk-cur
  o [ARM PATCH] 1300/1: more efficient irq number retrieval for PXA due
    to ARMv5 instructions
  o [ARM PATCH] 1301/1: detection of more XScale chips Adds detection
    of:
  o [ARM PATCH] 1312/1: BadgePAD 4 mach-sa1100 update
  o [ARM PATCH] 1310/1: Make SA-1100 IR compile
  o [ARM PATCH] 1298/1: display various PXA250 clocks on boot for
    better bug diagnosis Since it's easy to overclock that chip we'd
    better know why some board is  crashing randomly due to signal
    integrity problems.
  o [ARM PATCH] 1299/1: display various PXA250 clocks (part 2) Patch
    #1298/1 will be much more useful if the code is actually called.

Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>:
  o kbuild: Compatible with old bash, fix help, make clean fix
  o docbook: *docs targets fixed, clean ok for html
  o aic7xxx: Simplified cleaning, fixed firmware build

Steve French <stevef@smfhome1.austin.rr.com>:
  o Fix locking of global smb list.  Add missing rc checks
  o Merge fixes from version 0.58 of cifs vfs

Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>:
  o Fixup Orlov block allocator for ext2
  o Orlov block allocator for ext3
  o Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems
  o Ext2/3 forward compatibility: on-line resizing
  o Ext2/3 forward compatibility: inode size
  o Port of the 0.8.50 xattr-mbcache patch to 2.5.  (Shrinker API, hch
    cleanups) (now uses struct block_device * to index devices, and
    uses hash.h for hash function)
  o Port of (bugfixed) 0.8.50 xattr-ext3 to 2.5 (w/ hch cleanups.
    mbcache API)
  o Port of (bugfixed) 0.8.50 xattr-ext2 to 2.5 (w/ hch cleanups.
    mbcache API)
  o Port of 0.8.50 acl patch to 2.5
  o Port of 0.8.50 acl-ms-posixacl patch to 2.5
  o Port 0.8.50 acl-xattr patch to 2.5 (harmonize header file with
    SGI/XFS)
  o Port of (bugfixed) 0.8.50 acl-ext3 to 2.5
  o Port of (bugfixed) 0.8.50 acl-ext2 to 2.5

Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>:
  o another kmap imbalance in 2.4.x/2.5.x RPC
