Here's the patch for modalias support for input classes. It uses
comma-separated numbers, and doesn't describe all the potential keys (no
module currently cares, and that would make the strings huge). The
changes to input.h are to move the definitions needed by file2alias
outside __KERNEL__. I chose not to move those definitions to
mod_devicetable.h, because there are so many that it might break compile
of something else in the kernel.
The rest is fairly straightforward.

IDE: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ...
Add MODULE_ALIAS to IDE midlayer modules: ide-disk, ide-cd, ide-floppy and
ide-tape, to autoload these modules depending on the probed media type of
the IDE device.
It is used by udev and replaces the former agent shell script of the hotplug
package, which was required to lookup the media type in the proc filesystem.
Using proc was racy, cause the media file is created after the hotplug event
is sent out.
The module autoloading does not take any effect, until something like the
following udev rule is configured:
SUBSYSTEM=="ide", ACTION=="add", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"
The module ide-scsi will not be autoloaded, cause it requires manual
configuration. It can't be, and never was supported for automatic setup in
the hotplug package. Adding a MODULE_ALIAS to ide-scsi for all supported
media types, would just lead to a default blacklist entry anyway.

There are cases in which a device's memory mapped registers overlap
with another device's memory mapped registers. On several PowerPC
devices this occurs for the MDIO bus, whose registers tended to overlap
with one of the ethernet controllers.
By switching from request_resource to insert_resource we can register
the MDIO bus as a proper platform device and not hack around how we
handle its memory mapped registers.

This patch (as604) makes the driver core hold a device's parent's lock
as well as the device's lock during calls to the probe and remove
methods in a driver. This facility is needed by USB device drivers,
owing to the peculiar way USB devices work:
A device provides multiple interfaces, and drivers are bound
to interfaces rather than to devices;
Nevertheless a reset, reset-configuration, suspend, or resume
affects the entire device and requires the caller to hold the
lock for the device, not just a lock for one of the interfaces.
Since a USB driver's probe method is always called with the interface
lock held, the locking order rules (always lock parent before child)
prevent these methods from acquiring the device lock. The solution
provided here is to call all probe and remove methods, for all devices
(not just USB), with the parent lock already acquired.
Although currently only the USB subsystem requires these changes, people
have mentioned in prior discussion that the overhead of acquiring an
extra semaphore in all the prove/remove sequences is not overly large.
Up to now, the USB core has been using its own set of private
semaphores. A followup patch will remove them, relying entirely on the
device semaphores provided by the driver core.
The code paths affected by this patch are:
device_add and device_del: The USB core already holds the parent
lock, so no actual change is needed.
driver_register and driver_unregister: The driver core will now
lock both the parent and the device before probing or removing.
driver_bind and driver_unbind (in sysfs): These routines will
now lock both the parent and the device before binding or
unbinding.
bus_rescan_devices: The helper routine will lock the parent
before probing a device.
I have not tested this patch for conflicts with other subsystems. As
far as I can see, the only possibility of conflict would lie in the
bus_rescan_devices pathway, and it seems pretty remote. Nevertheless,
it would be good for this to get a lot of testing in -mm.

The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these
days, netlink events are the default.
udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and
in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and
provide only one interface without all the options.
The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots
recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for
subsystem specific events.
Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to
notify about changes than sending events through the core.
The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to
userspace now.

These days we use udev to manage all kernel events. /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
will usually be disabled by an init-script. pnpnbios is not integrated with
the driver core and should stay away from the now disabled /sbin/hotplug.
Set the helper to /sbin/phpbios, even when there is probably no current
user of this faciliy. If it's needed, it should definitely get proper driver
core integration instead of forking binaries from the kernel.

Some G5s still occasionally experience shutdowns due to overtemp
conditions despite the recent fix. After analyzing logs from such
machines, it appears that the overtemp code is a bit too quick at
shutting the machine down when reaching the critical temperature (tmax +
8) and doesn't leave the fan enough time to actually cool it down. This
happens if the temperature of a CPU suddenly rises too high in a very
short period of time, or occasionally on boot (that is the CPUs are
already overtemp by the time the driver loads).
This patches makes the code a bit more relaxed, leaving a few seconds to
the fans to do their job before kicking the machine shutown.

that at least is consistent with the bug in the server. I'm working on a
big patch to X that reworks the memory map stuff completely and fixes
those issues on the server side, I'll do a DRM patch matching this X fix
as well so that the memory map is only ever set in one place and with
what I hope is a correct algorithm..."

As reported by Jules Villard <jvillard@ens-lyon.fr> and some others, the
recent GART aperture start reconfiguration causes problems on some
setups.
What I _think_ might be happening is that the X server is also trying to
muck around with the card memory map and is forcing it back into a wrong
setting that also happens to no longer match what the DRM wants to do
and blows up. There are bugs all over the place in that code (and still
some bugs in the DRM as well anyway).
This patch attempts to avoid that by using the largest of the 2 values,
which I think will cause it to behave as it used to for you and will
still fix the problem with machines that have an aperture size smaller
than the video memory.
