Subject: Linux 2.1.126pre2ac1


I've previously avoided doing releases against Linus pre-patches, but since
2.1.126pre2 is a rather nice pre-patch and I needed to do the merge to send
Linus stuff anyway it seems a good idea.

Also because Linus takes a fair time between kernel releases now stopping
after his pre patch wastes about half the development loops the Linux
community can get through when testing stuff. Especially at the rate people
are currently contributing patches to linux-kernel and other lists.

Anyway for this you'll need 2.1.125, the 2.1.126pre2 patch from
ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/testing and my patch from
ftp.linux.org.uk:/pub/linux/alan/2.1/..

Unpack 2.1.125, patch with Linus diff then patch with mine, build and enjoy,
report bugs.

The difference list is as follows:
