The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems
but unfortunately broke some common usage scenarios. In current
2.6.24-rc6 the following command line results in no IP address
assignment, which is surely a regression:
ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off
Please find below a patch that works for all cases I can find.

The console is now by default in UTF-8 mode. Fix the documentation on
the default value, so that we can explain behaviour that otherwise
causes bug-reports like this:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9319
Also add the needed "vt." prefix, so that the boot-time config options
to switch back to the legacy 8-bit mode is actually documented
correctly.

Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was
update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the
latter is ignored and the default (on) is used.
This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion.
But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that
ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration.
This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on)
is the default.

Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Originally
submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by
Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.
Glenn's original comment follows:
Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information. This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy. This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.

People discuss how the namespaces are working/going-to-work together.
Ted Ts'o proposed to create some document that describes what problems user
may have when he/she creates some new namespace, but keeps others shared.
I liked this idea, so here's the initial version of such a document with
the problems I currently have in mind and can describe somewhat audibly -
the "namespaces compatibility list".
The Documentation/namespaces/ directory is about to contain more docs about
the namespaces stuff.
Thanks to Cedirc for notes and spell checks on the doc, to Daniel for
additional info about IPC and User namespaces interaction and to Randy, who
alluded me to using a spell checker before sending the documentation :)

Plip passes a string "name" that is allocated on stack to
parport_register_device. parport_register_device holds the pointer to
"name" and when the registering function exits, it points nowhere.
On some machine, this bug causes bad names to appear in /proc, such as
/proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/devices/T^/�X^/�, on others, the plip
proc node is completely missing.
The patch also fixes documentation to note this requirement.

The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).
So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

We had an historical confusion in the kernel between cache line
and cache block size. The former is an implementation detail of
the L1 cache which can be useful for performance optimisations,
the later is the actual size on which the cache control
instructions operate, which can be different.
For some reason, we had a weird hack reading the right property
on powermac and the wrong one on any other 64 bits (32 bits is
unaffected as it only uses the cputable for cache block size
infos at this stage).
This fixes the booting-without-of.txt documentation to mention
the right properties, and fixes the 64 bits initialization code
to look for the block size first, with a fallback to the line
size if the property is missing.
