From: Rusty Russell
Date: Thu Dec 25 2008 - 07:18:06 EST

(Not much change since last time, just consolidated fixes aired here, esp.
x86 early_param fixes thanks to Hugh and Yinghai.)

The following changes since commit 4a6908a3a050aacc9c3a2f36b276b46c0629ad91:
Linus Torvalds (1):
Linux 2.6.28

are available in the git repository at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-boot-params.git master

David Howells (2):
param: Adapt MN10300 to the new parameter handling regime
param: Adapt FRV to the new parameter handling regime

Geert Uytterhoeven (1):
m68k: Use asm/sections.h in kernel/setup.c

Rusty Russell (13):
USB: Don't use __module_param_call; use core_param.
x86: act on mem= and memmap= later in boot
x86: prepare noexec for being called earlier
x86: override_capabilities in early_identify_cpu
param: allow parse_args to work non-destructively.
param: put core_param in separate section
param: make sure charp isn't used as a core_param
param: arch_get_boot_command_line()
param: move core_param() parsing to before setup_arch.
param: Call early_param earlier.
param: combine core_param and early_param parsing.
param: don't use alloc_bootmem for saved_command_line
param: move banner printing to top of start_kernel.

Yinghai Lu (1):
x86: clean up setup_clear/force_cpu_cap handling
