Alan Cox: Linux 2.4.19rc1-ac5

49
The first release candidate of the Alan Cox edition of Linux kernel, 2.4.19rc1 is out. Download the kernel here, but make sure to check the changelog.

[+ indicates stuff that went to Marcelo, o stuff that has not,
 * indicates stuff that is merged in mainstream now, X stuff that proved
   bad and was dropped out]

The summit stuff here is probably not yet sufficient to boot on Summit
and I may have broken NUMA-Q. It does however boot/run correctly on the
conventional PC class boxes (uniprocessor and SMP) I've run it on even
with a MULTIQUAD/SUMMIT kernel selected
