[patch 0/5] SiByte fixes for 2.6.12

["Andrew Isaacson" <adi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following series of patches address a few issues I ran into while
getting 2.6.12 running on Swarm.  Some of them are questionable, for
example [3/5] is only an issue because of the oldish toolchain I happen
to be using at the moment.

Also, Ralf, do you like these quilt-style patchbombs or do you prefer
another submission format?
