Hi Linus,
3 patches for s390, just minor stuff. Arnd is working on the compat ioctls
which are broken for s390 right now, and we have started working on the 3270
driver which is in a bad shape.

Short descriptions:
1) Various s390 bug fixes. 
2) Optimze s390 inline assemblies.
3) Remove remaining MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT pairs from s390 code.

blue skies,
  Martin.

Hi Linus,
the s390 patch set keeps growing: 16 patches against bitkeeper of 2003/04/14.
This patch set includes a nice one: the removal (!!) of the s390x architecture
files. I hope this makes Christoph Hellwig happy who has been nagging us to
do so. In fact it was easier than I thought it would be. Arnd did some
Makefile magic that allowed us to remove one file after the other. This sped
up the process quite a bit.

Short descriptions:
1) s390 architecture changes and bug fixes. There is one fix that affects
   common code: invoke_softirq. For s390 we want to switch to the async.
   interrupt stack in local_bh_enable.
2) Add support for system call numbers > 255.
3) Common i/o layer changes.
4) Bug fixes for the sclp and 3215 console drivers.
5) Bug fixes for the ctc, lcs and iucv network drivers.
6) Make uni-processor kernels compile & work again.
7) Bug fixes & small improvements for the dasd driver. 
8) Coding style adaptions for the dasd driver. This patch is big but it
   doesn't do much. I removed outdated comments and most of the structure
   typedefs. No real code change in this one.
9) Part 2 of the dasd coding style adaptions.
10-16) The patches 10-16 belong together. They merge the s390x architecture
   bits into the s390 files. 31/64 bit is now a configuration option.
   The effect of this is that the files in include/asm-s390x and arch/s390x
   can be removed. If you apply the patches 10-16 please do so. I didn't
   want to send another huge patch just to remove the two directories.

blue skies,
  Martin.
