This allows the ability to write userspace drivers for some types of hardware much easier than before, going through a simple interface to get accesses to irqs and memory regions. A small kernel portion is still needed to handle the irq properly, but that is it. - other minor cleanups and fixes. All of these patches have been in the -mm tree for a while.
