These three patches are the backports against the new 2.6.24-rc1 kernel base.

[patch 1/3] - In kernel version 2.6.17 and lower the interface for
register/unregister_hotcpu_notifier() is missing. This patch includes the
backport for linux/cpu.h to the concerning kernel versions.

[patch 2/3] - Starting with kernel version 2.6.24 ehca is using sg_page()
interface, which does not exists in older kernels. So this patch adds a
backport for sg_page() in linux/scatterlist.h for all kernel versions
lower 2.6.24.

[patch 3/3] - ibmebus changes the location code interface in 2.6.24-rc1. 
Because those changes are not available in older kernel versions we
have to backport all older kernels to use the old version of ibmebus.

kind regards Stefan Roscher
