Subject: [Kernel-janitors] [PATCH] Fix 'No description found for parameter' warning

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
changed since 2.6.7-kjt1

luiz asked to drop that one

doesn't even compile

was already done in networking tree.

rejected at netdev:
fn_hash_kmem is not getting leaked,
the 'leak' seems intentional to keep using it even if other allocations in the same routine failed.

merged in linus tree via James Bottomley

merged in linus tree via Randy, thx :)

Christoph Hellwig asked to drop that,
as his patch is a superset of these changes.

pc98 is gone, so no need for that.

done by al viro in between,
forwarded him the other sparse fixes by Alexander Nyberg
