This should be fixed now. Just pushed out with commit
95b08679963c78ce0d675224a6efdb5169f2bf75 ("x86_64: Add missing mask
operation to vdso").

This *seems* to be a VIA bug. Regardless, it should be fixed by commit
a534b679180025aa324ebd63c05516e478551cfd ("x86_64: Remove CLFLUSH in
text_poke()").

This needs to be re-tested (was it the BIOS register overwriting,
perhaps?).

This should probably be dropped. I don't think we have any new reports on
it, and nobody else ever saw it.

This should be fixed by commit 980abe215b861891c39aba0936817c46f372143b
("UML: Fix ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS build botch").

This might be the same problem as the jinxed VAIO suspend/resume thingy,
which is a regression as well.
Please assign the Handled-By to me.

Missing from the list:
USB "autosuspend" feature (new in 2.6.23) breaks *lots* of devices.
Many have since been blacklisted in one-at-a-time discovery patches,
but that's really just the tip of the iceberg.
This "feature" breaks a TON of user-visible things,
mostly USB storage devices (USB drives/pens, digicams, etc..).
The functionality is broken for just too much stuff,
and needs to either be reverted or defaulted to "off" rather than "on".
Cheers

Ok, after conferring with Oliver this morning, I think the best solution
here is to both revert the usb-storage suspend patch as it has some
basic problems that can cause data loss, _and_ add the change to the
kernel that by default disables autosuspend on all USB devices except
hubs.
If anyone has any objections to this, please let me know.
thanks,

Sounds like a sane approach.
Hopefully the kinks can be worked out in time for a reattempt in 2.6.24.
I understand how important this stuff is for battery powered devices,
but it just doesn't appear to be ready yet.

Finally diagnosed. A patch should be coming shortly.
