[PATCH] s390 patches: description.

[Martin Schwidefsky]

Hi Linus,
10 patches for s390, some with important fixes - at least for s390.

Short descriptions:
1) Various s390 bug fixes. The most important is the one in pgtable.h.
   The bits for the invalid pages did not include the invalid bit ...
   This patch also contains the do_fork patch I sent to linux-arch.
2) Optimze s390 inline assemblies.
3) Add module alias support for ccw devices.
4) Add "steal lock" support to the common i/o layer. This is needed for dasd
   devices that have been reserved but not released. To get them going again
   you'll have to steal the lock.
5) Remove remaining MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT pairs from s390 code. 
6) 32 bit compatabiliy fixes. We now use the new compat ioctl mechanism.
   Define compat_alloc_user_space.
7) Bug fixes for the s390 block device drivers (dasd and xpram).
8) Bug fixes for the s390 console drivers (3215 and sclp).
9) Bug fixes for the s390 tape device driver.
10) Bug fixes for the s390 network devices drivers (ctc, lcs and iucv).

Patches are against linux-bk as of 2003/05/26.

[PATCH] s390 patches: description.

[Martin Schwidefsky]

Hi Linus,
7 patches for s390.

Short descriptions:
1) Basic patch to get kernel working on s390 again.
2) Compat fixes for s390. 
3) Common i/o layer patch. Most important change is the option to
   enable/disable path grouping. It makes no sense to try path grouping
   on devices that don't support it. It is now the decision of the device
   driver to use path grouping or not.
4) Some dasd stuff. Nothing important.
5) Correct call to SET_MODULE_OWNER in the network device drivers.
6) Fix two typos in xpram.
7) Return 0 on success in tty3215_init.

Patches are against linux-bk as of 2003/06/27.

blue skies,
  Martin.
