=== Patches ===
<div class="change">Patch from Pavel:

This patch fixes lookup of vmalocked page on emt64, since
init_mm doesn't have the correct reference to pgd.
Probably will be unnecessary when 4level page tables
will be in mainstream.
</div>

==== diff-ve-emt64-vmallocbest-20050909 ====
<div class="change">Patch from Pavel:

* fixup of get_vm_area_best: VMALLOC_END is not PAGE_SIZE-aligned on x86_64 so some areas were not aligned too. This resulted in warning in __vunmap (address is not page-aligned) and memory leak (vfree didn't free memory);
* added check like in __vunmap to catch bad allocations at the time of allocation, not just at free-time.
</div>

This patches introduce a new permission bit in setdevperms to allow

VE has its own filesystem). For multiple quota partitions, the scripts
should give the permissions to additional quota roots.

Additionally the patch enlarges device permission hash (since now every VE
will have an entry in it).

==== diff-mainstream-pcirom2-20050916 ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
[PATCH] Fix up more strange byte writes to the PCI_ROM_ADDRESS config word

It's a dword thing, and the value we write is a dword. Doing a byte
write to it is nonsensical, and writes only the low byte, which only
contains the enable bit. So we enable a nonsensical address (usually
zero), which causes the controller no end of problems.
Trivial fix, but nasty to find.

==== diff-mainstream-pcirom-20050916 ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
[PATCH] hpt366: write the full 4 bytes of ROM address, not just low 1 byte

This is one heck of a confused driver. It uses a byte write to a dword
register to enable a ROM resource that it doesn't even seem to be using.

==== diff-ve-unixsock-20050919 ====
<div class="change">Patch from Pavel and Kirill:<br/>
This patch fixes broken old way of communicating between VE0 and
VE via unix socket. The problem was in
unix_find_socket_byinode(), which was done very conservative,
though it is safe to omit access check and allow VE0 and VE
access the same unix socket. It is safe since unix socket visibility
is limited by filesystem visibility.

Bug 51275.
