Michael Opdenacker reported:

For backward compatibility with earlier (< 2.6.24) kernels,
arch/i386/boot/bzImage or arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage symbolic links to
arch/x86/boot/bzImage are created when you build an x86 kernel. The
arch/i386 or arch/x86_64 directories are then created for this only
purpose.

Issue: these generated directories and symbolic links are *not cleaned
up* when you run "make mrproper" (and thus "make distclean"). This
disturbs the production of patches, because the source tree is left with
generated files and directories.

Sam has an alternative fix:

The directory is killed during make clean as opposed to make mrproper.

Looks like IRQ 31 is assigned to timer 3, even without the patch!
I wonder who wrote the number 31. But the manual says that it is
zero by default.

I think we should check whether the timer has been allocated an IRQ before
proceeding to assign one to it.  Here is a patch that does this.

The userspace API for the HPET (see Documentation/hpet.txt) did not work. The
HPET_IE_ON ioctl was failing as there was no IRQ assigned to the timer
device. This patch fixes it by allocating IRQs to timer blocks in the HPET.

The following scenario might leave PIT as a disfunctional clock source:

    PIT is registered as clocksource
    PM_TIMER is registered as clocksource and enables highres/dyntick mode
    PIT is switched to oneshot mode
    -> now the readout of PIT is bogus, but the user might select PIT
    via the sysfs override, which would break the box as the time
    readout is unusable.

Unregister the PIT clocksource when the PIT clock event device is switched
into shutdown / oneshot mode.

PIT clocksource is registered unconditionally even when HPET is enabled
or when PIT is replaced by the local APIC timer. In both cases PIT can
not be used as it is stopped and the readout would be stale.

Prevent registering PIT in those cases.

the logic in this function is just crazy.  It's recursive, but we
can circumvent the creation for the kobject and whole creation of the
threshold_block if some conditions are met.  That's why we see the
allocate_threshold_blocks so many times in the callstack, yet only a few
kobjects created.

Then we blow up in kobject_uevent_env() on the first debug printk.
Which means that we are just passing in garbage.

Man, this is one time that comments in code would have been very nice to
have, and why forward goto's into major code blocks are just evil...

This patch factors out the code, which handles the Bonito system
controller. The case of not supporting the DMA coherency is handled
separately to make the logic obvious. Besides, a couple of empty
lines added to beautify the code even further.

Since the latest release Qemu is capable of emulating the MIPSsim and

rather underfeatured so less useful than a Malta emulation.

- 64bit kernel support

- moved sniprom code to arch/mips/fw
