created for a number of functions that didnt require it.  For example:

It turns out we are adding -fno-omit-frame-pointer to ppc64 which is
causing the above behaviour.  Removing that flag results in much better
code:

[PATCH] ppc64: very basic desktop g5 sound support

This patch hacks the current PowerMac Alsa driver to add some basic support
of analog sound output to some desktop G5s.  It has severe limitations
though:

 - Only 44100Khz 16 bits
 - Only work on G5 models using a TAS3004 analog code, that is early
   single CPU desktops and all dual CPU desktops at this date, but none
   of the more recent ones like iMac G5.
 - It does analog only, no digital/SPDIF support at all, no native
   AC3 support

Better support would require a complete rewrite of the driver (which I am
working on, but don't hold your breath), to properly support the diversity
of apple sound HW setup, including dual codecs, several i2s busses, all the
new codecs used in the new machines, proper clock switching with digital,
etc etc etc...

This patch applies on top of the other PowerMac sound patches I posted in
the past couple of days (new powerbook support and sleep fixes).

Note: This is a FAQ entry for PowerMac sound support with TI codecs: They
have a feature called "DRC" which is automatically enabled for the internal
speaker (at least when auto mute control is enabled) which will cause your
sound to fade out to nothing after half a second of playback if you don't
set a proper "DRC Range" in the mixer.  So if you have a problem like that,
check alsamixer and raise your DRC Range to something reasonable.

Note2: This patch will also add auto-mute of the speaker when line-out jack
is used on some earlier desktop G4s (and on the G5) in addition to the
headphone jack.  If that behaviour isn't what you want, just disable
auto-muting and use the manual mute controls in alsamixer.

* Allow FSL Book-E parts to use a 64-bit PTE, it is 44-bits of pfn, 20-bits
  of flags.

* Introduced new CPU feature (CPU_FTR_BIG_PHYS) to allow runtime handling of
  updating hardware register (SPRN_MAS7) which holds the upper 32-bits of
  physical address that will be written into the TLB.  This is useful since
  not all e500 cores support 36-bit physical addressing.

* Currently have a pass through implementation of fixup_bigphys_addr

* Moved _PAGE_DIRTY in the 64-bit PTE case to free room for three additional
  storage attributes that may exist in future FSL Book-E cores and updated
  fault handler to copy these bits into the hardware TLBs.

specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for

This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different
approach.  The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks with
some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume
AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when suspended.
 This is platform specific for now.  It would be too complicated to try to
do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird
things going on with AGP on other architectures.  We'll re-work that whole
problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI.

[PATCH] SELinux: fix bug in Netlink message type detection

This patch fixes a bug in the SELinux Netlink message type detection code,
where the wrong constant was being used in a case statement.  The incorrect
value is not valid for this class of object so it would not have been
reached, and fallen through to a default handler for all Netlink messages.

ARM wasn't raising a SIGBUS with a siginfo structure.  Fix
__do_user_fault() to allow us to use it for SIGBUS conditions, and arrange
for the sigbus path to use this.

We need to prevent the siginfo code being called if we do not have a user
space context to call it, so consolidate the "user_mode()" tests.
