I was grepping through the code and some `grep ganularity -R .` didn't
catch what I thought. Then looking closer I saw the term "granuality"
used in only four places (in comments) and granularity in many more
places describing the same idea. Some other facts:

dictionary.com does not know such a word
define:granuality on google is not found (and pages for granuality are
mostly related to patches to the kernel)
it has not been discussed as a term on LKML, AFAICS (=Can Search)

To be consistent, I think granularity should be used everywhere.

  [PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack

resulted in the poll stack being 4-byte aligned on 64-bit architectures,
causing misaligned accesses to elements in the array.

This patch fixes it by declaring the stack in terms of 'long' instead
of 'char'.

Force alignment of poll and select stacks to long to avoid unaligned
access on 64 bit architectures.

The attached patch documents the Linux kernel's memory barriers.

I've updated it from the comments I've been given.

The per-arch notes sections are gone because it's clear that there are so many
exceptions, that it's not worth having them.

I've added a list of references to other documents.

I've tried to get rid of the concept of memory accesses appearing on the bus;
what matters is apparent behaviour with respect to other observers in the
system.

Interrupts barrier effects are now considered to be non-existent. They may be
there, but you may not rely on them.

I've added a couple of definition sections at the top of the document: one to
specify the minimum execution model that may be assumed, the other to specify
what this document refers to by the term "memory".

I've made greater mention of the use of mmiowb().

I've adjusted the way in which caches are described, and described the fun
that can be had with cache coherence maintenance being unordered and data
dependency not being necessarily implicit.

I've described (smp_)read_barrier_depends().

I've rearranged the order of the sections, so that memory barriers are
discussed in abstract first, and then described the memory barrier facilities
available on Linux, before going on to more real-world discussions and examples.

I've added information about the lack of memory barriering effects with atomic
ops and bitops.

I've added information about control dependencies.

I've added more diagrams to illustrate caching interactions between CPUs.

The monochrome->color expansion routine that handles bitmaps which have
(widths % 8) != 0 (slow_imageblit) produces corrupt characters in big-endian.
This is caused by a bogus bit test in slow_imageblit().

Fix.

This patch may deserve to go to the stable tree.  The code has already been
well tested in little-endian machines.  It's only in big-endian where there is
uncertainty and Herbert confirmed that this is the correct way to go.

It should not introduce regressions.

Fixes for the pxafb driver:

* Return -EINVAL for resolutions that are too large as per framebuffer
  driver policy.

* Increase the error timeout for disabling the LCD controller.  The current
  timeout is sometimes too short on the Sharp Zaurus Cxx00 hardware and an
  extra delay in an error path shouldn't pose any problems.

* Fix a dev reference which causes a compile error when DEBUG is defined.
