of kernel.org hosted lists, nvdimm and persistent memory development is

The old list will remain up until v5.14-rc1 and shutdown thereafter.

and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and interrupt return in C. The
result is much easier to follow code that is also faster in general.
- Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had become badly
intertwined with #ifdefs over the years.
- Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should
hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings from the
workqueue code and other problems.

The "Clear Error Unit" may be smaller than the ECC unit size on some
devices. For example, poison may be tracked at 64-byte alignment even
though the ECC unit is larger. Unless / until the ACPI specification
provides a non-ambiguous way to communicate this property do not expose
this to userspace.
Software that had been using this property must already be prepared for
the case where the property is not provided on older kernels, so it is
safe to remove this attribute.

Per commit "77873803363c net_dma: mark broken" net_dma is no longer used
and there is no plan to fix it.
This is the mechanical removal of bits in CONFIG_NET_DMA ifdef guards.
Reverting the remainder of the net_dma induced changes is deferred to
subsequent patches.

This patch also removes capability code included in SELinux that

The drivers
- ohci1394 (controller driver)
- ieee1394 (core)
- dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI)
- eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers)
are replaced by
- firewire-ohci (controller driver)
- firewire-core (core and userspace ABI)
- firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers)
which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older
drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base.
The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both
ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an
independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394.
The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without
replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards
use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead.
The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of
the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal.
There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to
the older one:
- The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA
NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394.
I am looking into the M52xx issue.
- The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its
experimental cousin eth1394.
- Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE
chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet.
This issue is still under investigation.
- There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them,
only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful.
Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core.
All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of
overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a
reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two
IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now,
as announced earlier this year.

Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}"
from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006.
This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and
disables them in pcilynx. That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and
hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception
and transmission.
Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso
interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no
longer useful for isochronous applications.
raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the
requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.
