Having looked closer than before, it seems that Alpha can
  use the generic copy_siginfo_to_user function.

  Patch enclosed to correct the following warning in 2.5.20.

  io_apic.c:223: warning: `move' defined but not used

  I discussed it with Rusty, so I extended the SMP part and
  declared a null function for UP (my first thought was to #ifdef
  balance_irq() ).

 Some CML1 rule contributors seem to think that the "bool" statement
 takes a third argument which is the default value.  It doesn't.

 Use of the $ARCH variable is undocumented; the sparc and sparc64 ports
 define the bool constants CONFIG_SPARC32 and CONFIG_SPARC64 respectively
 for this purpose.

 The entry for quota with 32bit UID/GID support is named "VFS v0...".

 this patch fixes redundant declarations in 2.5.24
 (same as sent yesterday, but this time automacially splitted
 into several mails)

  Symbol CONFIG_NUMA for alpha port depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does
  not say so in its banner.

 '**' in comments misleads DocBook, the comment is for a structure that
 DocBook cannot handle.

 this patch is a minor fixup to ext2/inode.c to avoid displaying the
 high 32 bits of the size for anything other than regular files.  For
 sockets, pipes, symlinks, etc it doesn't make sense to have a value
 larger than 2GB, and this has already been fixed in ext3 and e2fsprogs.

 Enlarge the log buffer in printk to 128K for s390/s390x.

 Symbol CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does
 not say so in its banner.

 Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.tmpl includes code that has no
 documentation on 2.5.24, the empty sections mess up the sgml.  Comment
 out these sections until sombody adds docs to the code.

 1/8 definitions of CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE have trivially different banners.

 The CRIS architecture is also able to use the generic
 copy_siginfo_to_user.

 init_rootfs() (from ramfs) doesn't appear in any header file.  I didn't
 see any that looked like a good home, so lets put a prototype at the top
 of fs/namespace.c.  This only use of this function is in namespace.c.

 not say so in its banner.

 Details over 2 years out of date.

  The arch-determining symbol CONFIG_SH in drivers/mtd/maps/Config.in
  should be CONFIG_SUPERH.

  [Rusty: this is a resend of 'PATCH 2.5: kconfig wrong arch symbol';
   it should apply now that my earlier patch which trod on the context
   has been merged into 2.5.24]

 Use of the $ARCH variable is undocumented; the alpha port defines the
 bool constant CONFIG_ALPHA for this purpose.

 Symbol CONFIG_SGI_NEWPORT_GFX depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does
 not say so in its banner.

 attached patch adds missing static modifiers for small_digits[] and
 large_digits[] arrays in the number() function from lib/vsprintf.c

 Patch against 2.5.25, should apply to 2.4.x.
 Please consider applying.

 define the bool constants CONFIG_SPARC32 and CONFIG_SPARC64 respectively
 for this purpose.

 This patch was included in 2.5.23, but removed in 2.5.24.  I guess
 I should have sent it to the maintainer in the first place ...

 This allows the cs46xx driver to build.
