[Intrepid] Update kernel to Linux 2.6.27.18

[Stefan Bader]

SRU justification:

Impact: Several bug fixes and updates to get in sync with upstream stable. This update features one vmware fix that we were asked to pick up on the kerne-team mailing list, replaces one patch that was carried as SAUCE patch, as well as a few fixes to previous stable releases.

Fix:
 * Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown
 * iwlwifi: scan correct setting of valid rx_chains
 * kernel-doc: fix syscall wrapper processing
 * lockd: fix regression in lockd's handling of blocked locks
 * nbd: fix I/O hang on disconnected nbds
 * parport: parport_serial, don't bind netmos ibm 0299
 * powerpc: Fix swapcontext system for VSX + old ucontext size
 * powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix mapping functions to use phys_addr_t(1)
 * syscall define: fix uml compile bug
 * w1: w1 temp calculation overflow fix
 * write-back: fix nr_to_write counter
 * writeback: fix break condition
 * x86, vmi: put a missing paravirt_release_pmd in pgd_dtor(2)
 * zd1211rw: adding 0ace:0xa211 as a ZD1211 device
 * zd1211rw: treat MAXIM_NEW_RF(0x08) as UW2453_RF(0x09) for TP-Link WN322/422G
 * sctp: Fix crc32c calculations on big-endian arhes.
 * sctp: Correctly start rtx timer on new packet transmissions.
 * sctp: Properly timestamp outgoing data chunks for rtx purposes
 * drivers/net/skfp: if !capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN): inverted logic
 * ipv4: fix infinite retry loop in IP-Config
 * ipv6: Disallow rediculious flowlabel option sizes.
 * ipv6: Copy cork options in ip6_append_data
 * net: 4 bytes kernel memory disclosure in SO_BSDCOMPAT gsopt try #2
 * net: packet socket packet_lookup_frame fix
 * sky2: fix hard hang with netconsoling and iface going up
 * sungem: Soft lockup in sungem on Netra AC200 when switching interface up
 * tun: Add some missing TUN compat ioctl translations.
 * tun: Fix unicast filter overflow
 * udp: Fix UDP short packet false positive
 * udp: increments sk_drops in __udp_queue_rcv_skb()
 * virtio_net: Fix MAX_PACKET_LEN to support 802.1Q VLANs
 * net: Fix frag_list handling in skb_seq_read
 * net: Fix OOPS in skb_seq_read().
 * packet: Avoid lock_sock in mmap handler
 * tcp: splice as many packets as possible at once
 * tcp: Fix length tcp_splice_data_recv passes to skb_splice_bits.
 * sparc: Enable syscall wrappers for 64-bit (CVE-2009-0029)
 * sparc64: Annotate sparc64 specific syscalls with SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
 * netfilter: fix tuple inversion for Node information request
 * netfilter: xt_sctp: sctp chunk mapping doesn't work
 * bluetooth hid: enable quirk handling for Apple Wireless Keyboards in 2.6.27
    * Revert "UBUNTU: SAUCE: Add back in lost commit for Apple BT Wireless Keyboard"
 * HID: adjust report descriptor fixup for MS 1028 receiver
 * libata: fix EH device failure handling
 * ide/libata: fix ata_id_is_cfa() (take 4)
 * x86: fixup config space size of CPU functions for AMD family 11h
 * mac80211: fix a buffer overrun in station debug code
 * ALSA: mtpav - Fix initial value for input hwport
 * net: Fix data corruption when splicing from sockets.
 * Linux 2.6.27.18

(1) Would bump the ABI for ports(powerpc)
(2) This patch was requested on the kernel-team mailing list

* sparc64: Annotate sparc64 specific syscalls with SYSCALL_DEFINEx()

This will likely bump the ABI for sparc64 ports.

I'm setting the actively developed linux task to Fix Released as these are already included in the latest 2.6.28-11.42 Jaunty kernel.

[Stefan Bader (smb)]

The LBM task for hardy relates just to one backported patch:
iwlwifi: scan correct setting of valid rx_chains

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I assume this is not an issue in Jaunty/Karmic.
