Haven't seen any discussion of these yet, so here goes the latest
laundry list. Patches not offered here: I'm in way over my head,
but you'll note that doesn't keep me from mentioning things I've
explored :-).

linux/drivers/usb/storage/datafab.c:
linux/drivers/usb/storage/jumpshot.c:
        several instances of "memcpy(... sg[sg_idx].address ..." where
        "address" is no longer a valid structure member. I saw
        similar things in the 2.5.4 patch suggesting that a fix
        might be "memcpy(... page_address(sg[sg_idx].page) ..."

linux/drivers/sound/dmabuf.c:
linux/drivers/char/drm/i810_dma.c:
linux/drivers/video/vesafb.c:
        virt_to_bus() has gone bye-bye. Compiler suggests using
        the pci_map routines in this context. Don't know how to
        proceed.

linux/drivers/md/lvm.c:
        A couple of things here. lvm_get_blksize() should be
        block_size(). This one has been mentioned before.
        The other problem is a reference to current->sigpending.
        A possible fix is to replace "if (current->sigpending != 0)"
        with "if (signal_pending(current))".

linux/arch/i386/kernel/process.c:
linux/include/asm-i386/processor.h:
        Patch set previously provided by someone else for returning
        saved PC of a blocked thread.

linux/fs/intermezzo/super.c:
        read_super --> get_sb conversion not done for this filesystem.
        This one is more difficult than the patches I saw for other
        filesystems, because presto_read_super() calls
        fstype->read_super().
