There is now a conflict between this in Linus's tree:

commit afa08974fe80c198b8650f73ed8ab59135ca10d0
Author: Jean Delvare <khali@...ux-fr.org>
Date:   Sat Nov 7 13:10:46 2009 +0100

    i2c: Add an interface to lock/unlock an I2C bus segment

and this in net-next-2.6:

commit c9597d4f89565b6562bd3026adbe6eac6c317f47
Author: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@...arflare.com>
Date:   Fri Oct 23 08:29:33 2009 +0000

    sfc: Merge sfe4001.c into falcon_boards.c

You will need to merge Linus's tree into net-next-2.6 and resolve the
conflict by applying Jean's changes to drivers/net/sfc/falcon_boards.c.

Ben.
