ACPI: video: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register

2006-12-20T06:42:19Z

This patch set adds generic abstract layer support for acpi video driver to have generic user interface to control backlight and output switch control by leveraging the existing backlight sysfs class driver, and by adding a new video output sysfs class driver. This patch: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register to link the class device to real device object. The platform specific driver should find a way to get the real device object for their video device.

[PATCH] Fix for LKDTM MEM_SWAPOUT crashpoint

2006-11-06T09:46:23Z

The MEM_SWAPOUT crashpoint in LKDTM could be broken as some compilers inline the call to shrink_page_list() and symbol lookup for this function name fails. Replacing it with the function shrink_inactive_list(), which is the only function calling shrink_page_list(). Signed-off-by: Ankita Garg Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] ioc4: Enable build on non-SN2

2006-10-17T15:18:42Z

The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future. As such it is now a misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and would complicate builds for non-SN2. This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc, and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on non-SN2 configs. Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.
