Subject: s390 patches for -bk.

Hi Andrew,
another update for s390. This is the last patch-set from me for this
year. I asked Heiko Carstens ([email protected]) to keep an
eye on Bitkeeper for the next few weeks. If anything breaks he'll post
patches to keep s390 working.

The patches:
1) s390 core fixes
2) common i/o layer bug fixes
3) dcss segment interface changes
4) dasd driver fixes
5) z/VM monitor stream change
6) qeth network driver fixes. This patch depends on the last s390
networking patch (s390-network-driver-patch in 2.6.10-rc2-mm4)
which is pending because of the discussion about whether to drop
network packets on a link failure or not. Thomas said that the
discussion will take some more time.

blue skies,
Martin.

Do you think these should be in 2.6.10?

OK. I'll assume that this discussion is actually proceeding somewhere -
otherwise it will take a lot more time ;)
