 # cat /devcg/devices.list

 # echo a > devices.allow
 # cat /devcg/devices.list

 a 0:0 rwm

This is odd and maybe confusing.  With this patch, writing 'a' to
devices.allow will add 'a *:* rwm' to the whitelist.

Also a few fixes and updates to the document.

Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented
to kernel hackers.

Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the
rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are
documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc
documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added
here:

  How to format kernel-doc comments

the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.

This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic
usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other
portions of the kernel.

I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when
they are available;  I believe this is necessary for filesystem
integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage.

An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery-
backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...)
can always turn it back off again.

SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now.

Also document the mount option while we're at it.

Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them
in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev).  This works fine for
anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already
registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a
real block device.  In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned
device is being mounted.

Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems.

The sequence executed in check_sal_cache_flush:

	- pend a timer interrupt
	- call SAL_CACHE_FLUSH
	- see if interrupt is still pending

can hang HP machines with buggy SAL_CACHE_FLUSH implementations.

Provide a kernel command-line argument to allow users skip this
check if desired. Using this parameter will force ia64_sal_cache_flush
to call ia64_pal_cache_flush() instead of SAL_CACHE_FLUSH.
