Shrink the patch down by adopting 2.6.10-rc versions of the VM_IO fixes.
Add various further small fixes from 2.6.10-rc upstream. Not that while
this
has more fixes most of them are far more minor than the earlier ones.

The it8212 still doesn't default to DMA on - that is on the TODO list.
The
HPT366 rework project is also not ready (its gone back to the drawing
board for a few days if you are a volunteer and wondered what is up).
