Catching up with the backlog that ensued whilst resyncing. This brings things up to date with whats going on in 2.4, and syncs up with Linus' tree. This is a fairly large resync (5 pre releases), so I'm expecting some things to break in various places. The USB bits in particular might need a little more rejiggling. Even with the 3 2.4pre merges, my tree is currently still 6MB apart from mainline, with more bits heading off to Linus sometime in the next week. Some small bits are also going to trickle in over the next few -dj's to try and get through the huge patch backlog. As usual,.. Patch against 2.5.7 vanilla is available from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/ Merged patch archive: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/ Check http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/Linux-2.5.html before reporting known bugs that are also in mainline. -- Davej. 2.5.7-dj4 o Sync up with 2.5.8pre2 & pre3. | dropped cyber2000fb changes (James, please check) o Merge 2.4.19pre4, pre5 and pre6. o MCE_NONFATAL SMP fixes.
