Hi Linus,
It's now a tradition : here a few patches for you to merge in
the 2.5.6 kernel. A few cleanup that have been waiting for a while,
and a few critical fixes that recently showed up.
I've asked Jeff if he wanted to be my "Patch Penguin (TM)" for
Linux-IrDA patches, but he was not very enthousiastic about IrDA (I
don't understand why ;-) I'll make seperate patches for Marcello.
Patches have been tested in 2.5.6-pre2 (SMP). All non critical
patches have been on the IrDA list for more than one month (in
particular all the changes to LAP Tx queue).
Have fun...
Jean

[CORRECT] : Fix to have the correct/expected behaviour
[CRITICA] : Fix potential kernel crash
ir256_bus_to_virt.diff :

ir256_lap_icmd_fix-4.diff :
-------------------------
o [CORRECT] Fix Tx queue handling (remove race, keep packets in order)

we never forget to increase them (would stall Tx queue)
o [FEATURE] Group common code out of if-then-else
o [FEATURE] Don't harcode LAP header size, use proper constant
o [FEATURE] Inline irlap_next_state() to decrease bloat
ir256_usb_cow_urballoc.diff :

<Following patch from Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> himself !!!>
