kernel patches.
-1: Builds cleanly with applicable or modified CONFIG options =y, =m, and
+1: If you use a facility then #include the file that defines/declares
+ that facility. Don't depend on other header files pulling in ones
+ that you use.
+
+2: Builds cleanly with applicable or modified CONFIG options =y, =m, and
=n. No gcc warnings/errors, no linker warnings/errors.
-2: Passes allnoconfig, allmodconfig
+2b: Passes allnoconfig, allmodconfig
3: Builds on multiple CPU architectures by using local cross-compile tools
- or something like PLM at OSDL.
+ or some other build farm.
4: ppc64 is a good architecture for cross-compilation checking because it
tends to use `unsigned long' for 64-bit quantities.
24: All memory barriers {e.g., barrier(), rmb(), wmb()} need a comment in the
source code that explains the logic of what they are doing and why.
+
+25: If any ioctl's are added by the patch, then also update
+ Documentation/ioctl/ioctl-number.txt.
