The macro spin_event_timeout() takes a condition and timeout value
(in microseconds) as parameters. It spins until either the condition is true
or the timeout expires. It returns the result of the condition when the loop

The one-line summary of your patch
The receive interrupt routine checks the wrong register if the
receive fifo is empty. Further an explicit interrupt acknowledge
write is introduced. In some circumstances another interrupt was
issued.

Hello,
I have a Kernel 2.6.24 running on a custom board based on mpc8313erdb.

Like you know, when a file on my read-only squasfs is modified such file

Ben,
Here are various pci related changes for 2.6.31 that can look at going
into your test tree to see if they break anyone. It would be nice if this
could get some testing on pseries by one of you guys as I have no access
to such HW.

In that case, you might want to move the prefetchw() calls in the following:
The pcnet32 driver has had in its device id table for some time a match
against the "broken" vendor ID. No need to fake out the vendor ID
with an explicit fixup.

We shouldn't directly access sysdata to get the device node. We should
be calling pci_device_to_OF_node().
