Outstanding kernel patches

[David Woodhouse]

Stuck in tin cans again, I've been looking at building an OLPC kernel
based on 2.6.24, starting by going through the diffs between our stable
tree and 2.6.22 (on which it's based).

Ideally, we should be committing almost nothing directly to our tree --
it should _all_ be going upstream. As much as possible, I try to commit
to the git tree which I'm going to ask Linus to pull from and _then_
cherry-pick those commits into the OLPC tree.

If we don't do it like that, we need to remember to chase our changes
upstream. Here's a quick summary of what looks like it needs to be
(cleaned up and) pushed upstream...

dwmw2:
    some olpc_battery changes
    libertas private ioctls
    jffs2 crc noise 

Jordan:
    [PATCH] Add a configuration option to avoid automatically probing VGA
    scx200_acb: Add a module option to tune the SMB_CLK
    [PATCH]  Add a notifier list for VT console modes
    geode video support
    DCON (or maybe this is dwmw2's)

Jon Corbet:
    Some cafe_ccic.c changes

Andres / other:
    cs5535audio
    promfs
    DISABLE_SUSPEND_VT_SWITCH
    make config_noninteractive
    sysprof
    pci: do not delay when changing power states on OLPC
    atkbd/i8042 hacks
    olpc touchpad    

Core OLPC platform support:
 - Need to clean up the device-tree handling. Can we use fdt?
 - PCI support
 - EC support
 - Power management 

I'm willing to take on the core platform support and try to get that
upstream -- we really ought to get at least the basics of that ready for
when the 2.6.25 merge window opens.

That's only a quick pass; if you know you've committed something to the
OLPC tree which you haven't also sent to Linus, please think about what
needs doing to get it ready for the (imminent) 2.6.25 merge window.
