Subject: Linux 2.4.0-test11


Ok, test11 is out there. The most noticeable fixes since pre7 are the
Athlon lockup fix, the PCI routing handling, and getting the Joliet stuff
right for iso9660.

----

 - final:
    - Patrick Mochel: export the ACPI facs table in /proc too
    - Brian Gerst: Video4Linux cleanup (named initializers)
    - me: only use irq13 for FP errors for external FPU's. This
      fixes the Atlon FP exception lockups.
    - me: add a new intel signature to the PIRQ table matching logic.
      Make the matching match both reported and actual device ID (with a
      preference for the reported). Fixes PCMCIA on NEC Versa laptops.
    - iso9660: fix Joliet filename argument order bug introduced in pre7
    - Highmem: p_page -> b_page typo.
    - me: don't allow pending FPU exceptions without an FPU context..

 - pre7:

 - pre6:

      etc)
    - David Miller: search-and-destroy places that forget to mark us
      running after removing us from a wait-queue.
    - me: NFS client write-back ref-counting SMP instability.
    - me: fix up non-exclusive waiters

    - Peter Anvin: integrate more of the Intel patches.
    - Robert Love: add i815 signature to the intel AGP support
    - Rik Faith: DRM update to make it easier to sync up 2.2.x
    - David Woodhouse: make old 16-bit pcmcia controllers work
      again (ie i82365 and TCIC)

 - pre5:
    - Rasmus Andersen: add proper "<linux/init.h>" for sound drivers
    - David Miller: sparc64 and networking updates
    - David Trcka: MOXA numbering starts from 0, not 1.

    - Randy Dunlap: USB fixes
    - Gerd Knorr: big bttv update
    - Peter Anvin: x86 capabilities cleanup
    - Stephen Rothwell: apm initcall fix - smp poweroff should work
    - Andrew Morton: setscheduler() spinlock ordering fix

    - Randy Dunlap: USB updates (pegasus and ftdi_sio)
    - Kai Germaschewski: ISDN ppp header compression fixed

 - pre4:
    - Andrea Arcangeli: SMP scheduler memory barrier fixup
    - Richard Henderson: fix alpha semaphores and spinlock bugs.
    - Richard Henderson: clean up the file from hell: "xor.c"

 - pre3:
    - James Simmons: vgacon "printk()" deadlock with global irq lock.
    - don't poke blanked console on console output
    - Ching-Ling: get channels right on ALI audio driver
    - Dag Brattli and Jean Tourrilhes: big IrDA update

    - Can-Ru Yeou: SiS301 fbcon driver
    - Andrew Morton: NMI oopser and kernel page fault punch through
      both console_lock and timerlist_lock to make sure it prints out..

    - David Miller: sparc64 updates, make sparc32 boot again
    - Davdi Millner: spel "synchronous" correctly
    - David Miller: networking - fix some bridge issues, and correct

      execute-only files fix
