Three symbols CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_PDC, and

Two symbols CONFIG_PLX_HERMES and CONFIG_PCI_HERMES depend on

Four symbols CONFIG_ATM_CLIP, CONFIG_ATM_CLIP_NO_ICMP, CONFIG_ATM_LANE,

Two symbols CONFIG_ROADRUNNER and CONFIG_ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS depend

The convention is that symbols that depend on $CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL are
marked in the banner with the string (EXPERIMENTAL).  There are 4 cases
where that string is correctly used but is lowercase instead of uppercase.

The default value specified as the last word of the "choice" statement
should be a unique abbreviation of one of the sub-prompts, not some
random string never seen before.

Symbol CONFIG_ZNET depends on CONFIG_OBSOLETE, but its banner says it
depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.

Symbol CONFIG_INTERMEZZO_FS depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does
not say so in its banner in the usual way.

The 2.4.18pre10 kernel, like many if its predecessors, can't compile
the multiquad driver in an SMP kernel (maybe only as a module; it's
been a long time since I wrote this fix).  Here's a patch.

When compiling 2.5.20 (and ealier, likely) without procfs, the declaration
for struct tty_driver is missing in proc_fs.h, causing many compiler warnings
that are fixed by this patch.

This micropatch adds unlikely() macro into add_timer() bug check code.
Without this path gcc 3.1 makes bad thing reordering printk() into
the middle of function body.

the following micro-patch changes ext[23]_ioctl to return EACCES
(permission denied) instead of EPERM (operation not permitted) if
the caller is not authorized to change the flags on a file.

  The following trivial patch makes the patch-kernel script executable by
  a bare bone POSIX shell like ash.  Either that, or the interpreter line
  has to be changed to /bin/bash.

  The same patch applies to 2.4 (with some line offset).

The attached patch marks the following variables with __initdata:

        arch/i386/kernel/mpparse.c :: static unsigned int num_processors
        arch/i386/kernel/smpboot.c :: static int smp_b_stepping
        arch/i386/kernel/smpboot.c :: static int max_cpus

The data is static and only used by __init functions so can successfully
be jettisoned after boot.  Compiled and booted successfully on an SMP
machine.

I also set max_cpus to NR_CPUS instead of -1.  Besides being the
logically correct value and simplifying a loop elsewhere, this change
allows NR_CPUS to be set to various values other than the normal 32
which is growing in utility with the hotplug CPU changes now in
mainline.

Attached patch makes do_softirq preempt-safe simply by moving the
current CPU assignment a couple lines down below the interrupt disable.
