[PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced version

Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.

Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed.  This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm.  At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.

There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.

This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.

The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.

As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.

get_user_pages: don't try to follow PFNMAP pages

Nick Piggin points out that a few drivers play games with VM_IO (why?
who knows..) and thus a pfn-remapped area may not have that bit set even
if remap_pfn_range() set it originally.

So make it explicit in get_user_pages() that we don't follow VM_PFNMAP
pages, since pretty much by definition they do not have a "struct page"
associated with them.

19 years ago[PATCH] pcnet32: use MAC address from prom also on powerpc
Olaf Hering [Fri, 9 Dec 2005 18:12:10 +0000 (19:12 +0100)]
[PATCH] pcnet32: use MAC address from prom also on powerpc

The CSR contains garbage after a coldboot on RS/6000.
One some systems (like my 44p 270) the MAC address is all FF,
on others (like my B50) it is ff:ff:ff:fd:ff:6b.

It can eventually be fixed by loading pcnet32, set the interface
into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked
only on the 270.

Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address
via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable.
I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places. Remove
the special case for powerpc, which was added in early 2.4 development.
