8b150478ae [PATCH] ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns instead of addresses
Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an
address.  This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G
on 32-bit architectures.  We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no
need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the
conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G.

Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an
address by directly comparing to max_pfn.  Working with max_pfn instead of
high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.

53f4654272 [PATCH] Driver Core: fix up all callers of class_device_create()
The previous patch adding the ability to nest struct class_device
changed the paramaters to the call class_device_create().  This patch
fixes up all in-kernel users of the function.

4bb82551e1 Fix up mmap of /dev/kmem
This leaves the issue of whether we should deprecate the whole thing (or
if we should check the whole mmap range, for that matter) open. Just do
the minimal fix for now.

315c215c0a [PATCH] kdump: cleanups for dump file access in linear raw format
Removed the dependency on backup region.  Now all the information is encoded
in ELF format.  /dev/oldmem is a dummy interface.  User space tool need to be
intelligent enough to parse the elf headers and read the relevant memory areas
with the help of /dev/oldmem.

This patch allows iSeries to build with CONFIG_PCI=n.  This is useful for

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
