 The patch configures the CSR register closely following the directives
 in [1], paragraph 4.1, page 19.

 According to the considerations in [1], page 11, while the AHB bus
 supports both endian modes, on the IXP4XX it always uses big-endian.

 The PCI bus is connected to the South AHB. A wrong setting in the CSR
 register will thus cause a malfunctional PCI bus.

 A schematic diagram of the bus interconnections on the IXP4XX
 can be found in [1], page 18.

 The patch has been verified to work on the NSLU2 in
 both LE and BE modes.

[PATCH] bnx2: refine bnx2_poll

Refine bnx2_poll() logic to write back the most up-to-date status tag
when all work has been processed. This eliminates some occasional
extra interrupts when a older status tag is written even though all
work has been processed.

The idea is to read the status tag just before exiting bnx2_poll() and
then check again for any new work. If no new work is pending, the
status tag written back will not generate any extra interrupt. This
logic is similar to the changes David Miller did to tg3_poll().

The problem is that a process switch return causes tss->io_bitmap_base

io bitmap) never triggers.

[PATCH] Set the vga cursor even when hidden

Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read
the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for
better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen,
so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This
is a great loss for such people.

Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the
cursor while still moving it.

Mario, you should apply it to the speakup kernel for access floppies
asap. I'll submit a 2.4 patch too.
