function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit.  And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.

Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank.  For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.

The end result is a smaller code size.  And if the framebuffer console is not

[PATCH] nvidiafb: Add flat panel dither support

nvidiafb didn't fully hook-up the code it borrowed from X for doing flat
panel dithering (this is useful for 6 bits panels).  This adds a driver
option to force it, and by default "reads" the current value from the chip
to get the firmware setting.  It significantly improves the quality of
images on the iMac G5 I have here (though the X driver doesn't yet "read"
the current value and defaults to 0, so you have to add Option "FBDither"
"true" to your X config file to get that, I'll try to fix X.org to "read"
the default unless specified asap).

[PATCH] Kprobes: rearrange preempt_disable/enable() calls

The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability.  We
currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution
using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock.

With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held.  It also
allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as
we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis.  It is now necessary
that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on
multiple processors.

All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64
has been compile tested only.

The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks:

patch 1:  Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls
patches 2-7:  Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution
patches 8-9:  Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler
execution.

Thanks to Maneesh Soni, James Keniston and Anil Keshavamurthy for their
review and suggestions. Thanks again to Anil, Hien Nguyen and Kevin Stafford
for testing the patches.

If a panic came from the IPMI watchdog pretimeout and that was reported via
an NMI, it would also be reported via the standard IPMI flags, which would
get picked up when reporting panic events and cause another panic.  This
adds an atomic to avoid calling panic twice.

[PATCH] ipmi: use rcu lock for using command receivers

Use rcu_read_lock for the cmd_rcvrs list, since that was what what
intended, anyway.  This means that all the users of the cmd_rcvrs_lock are
tasks, so the irq disables are no longer required for that lock and it can
become a semaphore.
