Alan Cox: Linux 2.4.6-ac5

Cox writes, “This time the VIA fix should work, sorry about that.

“So far so good, but still treat this one with care. We now use the
official VIA workaround for the southbridge bugs. That should fix
the ES137x/SB PCI problems on VIA and some other stuff without
breaking the IDE corruption fix.
The i810 security hole is now patched too.”
