Subject: Linux 2.4.0-test11
Ok, test11 is out there. The most noticeable fixes since pre7 are the
Athlon lockup fix, the PCI routing handling, and getting the Joliet stuff
right for iso9660.
Linus
----
- final:
- Patrick Mochel: export the ACPI facs table in /proc too
- Brian Gerst: Video4Linux cleanup (named initializers)
- me: only use irq13 for FP errors for external FPU's. This
fixes the Atlon FP exception lockups.
- me: add a new intel signature to the PIRQ table matching logic.
Make the matching match both reported and actual device ID (with a
preference for the reported). Fixes PCMCIA on NEC Versa laptops.
- iso9660: fix Joliet filename argument order bug introduced in pre7
- Highmem: p_page -> b_page typo.
- me: don't allow pending FPU exceptions without an FPU context..
- pre7:
- Kai Germaschewski: more ISDN cleanups and small fixes.
- Al Viro: fix ntfs_new_inode() that he broke. Cleanups.
- various: handle !CONFIG_HOTPLUG properly
- David Miller: sparc and networking
- me: more iso9660 fixes.
- Neil Brown: fix rd and RAID on highmem machines
- Vojtech Pavlik: input driver fixes
- David Woodhouse: module unload races - up_and_exit()
- pre6:
- Intel: start to add Pentium IV specific stuff (128-byte cacheline
etc)
- David Miller: search-and-destroy places that forget to mark us
running after removing us from a wait-queue.
- me: NFS client write-back ref-counting SMP instability.
- me: fix up non-exclusive waiters
- Trond Myklebust: Be more careful about SMP in NFS and RPC code
- Trond Myklebust: inode attribute update race fix

- Peter Anvin: integrate more of the Intel patches.
- Robert Love: add i815 signature to the intel AGP support
- Rik Faith: DRM update to make it easier to sync up 2.2.x
- David Woodhouse: make old 16-bit pcmcia controllers work
again (ie i82365 and TCIC)
- pre5:
- Rasmus Andersen: add proper "" for sound drivers
- David Miller: sparc64 and networking updates
- David Trcka: MOXA numbering starts from 0, not 1.
- Jeff Garzik: sysctl.h standalone
- Dag Brattli: IrDA finishing touches
- Randy Dunlap: USB fixes
- Gerd Knorr: big bttv update
- Peter Anvin: x86 capabilities cleanup
- Stephen Rothwell: apm initcall fix - smp poweroff should work
- Andrew Morton: setscheduler() spinlock ordering fix

- Petr Vandrovec: ncpfs capabilities check cleanup
- David Woodhouse: fix jffs to use generic isxxxx() library
- Chris Swiedler: oom_kill selection fix
- Jens Axboe: re-merge after sleeping in ll_rw_block.

- Randy Dunlap: USB ID table support, LEDs with usbkbd, belkin
serial converter.
- Jeff Garzik: pcnet32 and lance net driver fix/cleanup
- Mikael Pettersson: clean up x86 ELF_PLATFORM
- Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz: sound and drm driver init fixes and
cleanups

SMP i_shared_lock/page_table_lock lock order fix.
- pre2:
- Stephen Rothwell: directory notify could return with the lock held
- Richard Henderson: CLOCKS_PER_SEC on alpha.
- Jeff Garzik: ramfs and highmem: kmap() the page to clear it
- Asit Mallick: enable the APIC in the official order
- Neil Brown: avoid rd deadlock on io_request_lock by using a
private rd-request function. This also avoids unnecessary
request merging at this level.

- Andrew Morton: NMI oopser and kernel page fault punch through
both console_lock and timerlist_lock to make sure it prints out..
- Jeff Garzik: clean up "kmap()" return type (it returns a kernel
virtual address, ie a "void *").
- Jeff Garzik: network driver docs, various one-liners.
- David Miller: add generic "special" flag to page flags, to be
used by architectures as they see fit. Like keeping track of
cache coherency issues.
- David Miller: sparc64 updates, make sparc32 boot again
- Davdi Millner: spel "synchronous" correctly
- David Miller: networking - fix some bridge issues, and correct
IPv6 sysctl entries.

get_exec_domain() by hand.
- pre1:
- me: make PCMCIA work even in the absense of PCI irq's
- me: add irq mapping capabilities for Cyrix southbridges
- me: make IBMMCA compile right as a module
- me: uhhuh. Major atomic-PTE SMP race boo-boo. Fixed.

bits in mxcsr through ptrace SETFPXREGS.
