This makes it possible for binfmt_misc to optionally preserve the
contents of argv[1].  This is needed for building accurate simulators
which are invoked via binfmt_misc.  I had brought up this patch a while
ago (see URL below) and there was no negative feedback (OK, there was no
feedback at all...  ;-).

The patch is trivial and the new behavior is triggered only if the
letter "P" (for "preserve") is appended to the binfmt_misc registration
string, so it shold be completely safe.

1. Expiration of SAs. Some missing updates of counters.
   Question: very strange, rfc defines use_time as time of the first use
   of SA. But kame setkey refers to this as lastuse.
2. Bug fixes for tunnel mode and forwarding.
3. Fix bugs in per-socket policy: policy entries do not leak but are destroyed,
   when socket is closed, and are cloned on children of listening sockets.
4. Implemented use policy: i.e. use ipsec if a SA is available,
   ignore if it is not.
5. Added sysctl to disable in/out policy on some devices.
   It is set on loopback by default.
6. Remove resolved reference from template. It is not used,
   but pollutes code.
7. Added all the SASTATEs, now they make sense.

Clean up vfs_readv/writev() interface and avoid code duplication.

Make kNFSd use the cleaned-up interfaces, and disable the code that
accesses the low-level readpage() function of the exported filesystem
(not allowed - many filesystems need extra setup, which is why we have
a separate ->sendpage() routine for that).

Change ARCH_STACK_GROWSUP to CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP as requested.

The hugetlb page support in 2.5.46 is broken (Don't know if this is the
first version of kernel or any prior revs also have that).  Basically the
free side of hugepages was really not freeing the physical resources (for
the cases when the pages allocated using system call interface).  Attached
is the patch that should resolve it. (doesn't break the hugetlbfs support
either).

NFSv2 doesn't pass connectathon 2002, at least on some Linux kernels.
Trond deemed the following modification necessary in all kernels to
address the problem.

New code in 2.5 VFS layer invokes notify_change to clear the suid and
sgid bits for every write request.  notify_change needs to optimize out
calls to ->setattr that don't do anything, because for many network file
systems, an on-the-wire SETATTR request is generated for every ->setattr
call, resulting in unnecessary latency for NFS writes.

nfsroot needs to pass the network protocol (UDP/TCP) into the mount
functions in order to support mounting root partitions via NFS over TCP.

This removes the old documentation, adds the new one and fixes all
references to it.

Various small kconfig updates to fix all the reported little problems and
the single menu mode for menuconfig by Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>.

This deletes the old config tools and moves Michael's maintainer entry
for them to CREDITS and I added myself for KCONFIG instead.

ethernet drivers used on powermacs.  The bmac.c change is just to
remove some compile warnings.  The mace.c change is to move an inline
function definition to before the point where it is used.

On PA-RISC, SIGRTMIN is 36, so a 32-bit data type is not enough.  We
conditionalise it so other arches don't pay the cost.

Add prefetching support to asm-generic/xor.h.  This gives a healthy speedup
on both PA-RISC & IA64.

- CREDITS & MAINTAINERS updates
- changes for the new kstat/dkstat struct
- Kconfig updates
- L_TARGET isn't obsolete yet
