Pulled, thanks a lot John.
John a few things:

1) I had to add some vmalloc.h includes to fix the build on sparc64,
   see commit b08cd667c4b6641c4d16a3f87f4550f81a6d69ac in net-next-2.6
I have a patch in my tree for that -- seems they hit it on ARM as well.
2) Something is screwey with the bluetooth config options now.

   I have an allmodconfig tree, and when I run "make oldconfig" after
   this pull, BT_L2CAP and BT_SCO both prompt me, claiming that they
   can only be built statically.

   I give it 'y' just to make it happen, for both, and afterways no
   matter how many times I rerun "make oldconfig" I keep seeing things
   like this in my build:

scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
include/config/auto.conf:986:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for BT_SCO
include/config/auto.conf:3156:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for BT_L2CAP

   First, what the heck is going on here?  Second, why the heck can't these
   non-trivial pieces of code be built modular any more?

   You can't make something "bool", have it depend on something that
   might be modular, and then build it into what could in fact be a
   module.  That's exactly what the bluetooth stuff seems to be doing
   now.

   I suspect commit 642745184f82688eb3ef0cdfaa4ba632055be9af

Thanks.
Sorry, I overlooked that.  Hopefully Gustavo will figure it out quickly.

Thanks,

John
