Differences between 2.1.131ac4 and 2.1.131ac5

o	IRDA merge (Dag)
	| For those wondering 'feature freeze', you'll note that the
	| actual kernel impact of these patches on the existing code is
	| 3 lines. Two of which are #ifdef and #endif....
o	Assorted compile fixes - especially for Alpha (various)
o	Further rmdir cleanups (Alexander Viro)
o	VM updates (Rik,Stephen)
o	IDE reset/assorted timer wrap fixes (Jens Axboe)
o	knfsd cache handling bug fix (David Mansfield)
o	Masq update (Juanjo)
o	Message queues can be bigger and are tunable via /proc (Peeter Joot)
	| Note - this has libc compatibility issues but only if you set the
	| queue sizes bigger than 64K. So the as shipped kernel is back
	| compatible. (if its not shout now)
o	Moved some PCI ethernet drivers into the PCI section
o	ps/aux preprocessor tweak
o	Extra SMC card added to pci defs
o	Another bunch of compile combination fixes from Arjan (not all he
	sent are in but most)
o	CONFIG_SMP (Michael Chastain)
