    [PATCH] cfq-iosched: merging problem
    
    Two issues:
    
    - The final return 1 should be a return 0, otherwise comparing cfqq is
      a noop.
    
    - bio_sync() only checks the sync flag, while rq_is_sync() checks both
      for READ and sync. The latter is what we want. Expand the bio check
      to include reads, and relax the restriction to allow merging of async
      io into sync requests.
    
    In the future we want to clean up the SYNC logic, right now it means
    both sync request (such as READ and O_DIRECT WRITE) and unplug-on-issue.
    Leave that for later.

    [PATCH] libata: fix combined mode
    
    This is a slight variant on the patch I posted December 16th to fix
    libata combined mode handling. The only real change is that we now
    correctly also reserve BAR1,2,4. That is basically a neatness issue.
    
    Jeff was unhappy about two things
    
    1. That it didn't work in the case of one channel native one channel
    legacy.
    
    This is a silly complaint because the SFF layer in libata doesn't handle
    this case yet anyway.
    
    2. The case where combined mode is in use and IDE=n.
    
    In this case the libata quirk code reserves the resources in question
    correctly already.
    
    Once the combined mode stuff is redone properly (2.6.21) then the entire
    mess turns into a single pci_request_regions() for all cases and all the
    ugly resource hackery goes away.
    
    I'm sending this now rather than after running full test suites so that
    it can get the maximal testing in a short time. I'll be running tests on
    this after lunch.

    Revert "[PATCH] x86_64: fix boot hang caused by CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT"
    
    This reverts commit a9622f6219ce58faba1417743bf3078501eb3434.  Now that
    the Calgary code apparently detects itself properly, it's not needed any
    more.
