 this patch fixes redundant declarations in 2.5.24

 Hello.  The following patch hides the option for Intel (i8x0) RNG
 support when it's not a useful option.  This is based off of a patch
 That was accepted in 2.4.19-pre6.  While I suspect this is an ia32-only
 option, it is possible that it's used on ia64 as well, so we test for
 both before offering Intel i8x0 RNG support.

 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.

  Three symbols CONFIG_SCSI_CUMANA_1, CONFIG_SCSI_ECOSCSI, and CONFIG_SCSI_OAK1
  depend on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but do not say so in their banners.

  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.

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

 (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.
