Great! FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I haven't seen any failures yet.

OK then how about the following (essentially documentation) patch?

The patch should address that problem by way of improving the libata driver API: * move ->host_stop() call after all ->port_stop() calls have occurred. * create default helper function ata_host_stop(), and move iounmap() call there. * add ->host_stop_prewalk() hook, use it in sata_qstor.c (hi Mark). sata_qstor appears to require the host-stop-before-port-stop ordering that existed prior to applying the attached patch.

This fixes the compilation of some OSS drivers with GAMEPORT=n without the need to #if inside every single driver. This patch also removes the non-working and now obsolete SOUND_GAMEPORT. This patch is also an alternative solution for ALSA drivers with similar problems (but #if's inside the drivers might have the advantage of saving some more bytes of gameport is not available). The only user-visible change is that for GAMEPORT=m the affected OSS drivers are now allowed to be built statically (but they won't have gameport support).

This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the "preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched() just before re-enabling bottom halves.

This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers. It's based on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18. That driver is a fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960 V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support for all others. This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960 driver. Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and testing this patch. No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.
