    - speling fixces.
     - fix drm/agp initialization issue
     - saner modules installation
            (*) NOTE! This may/will break some module setups.  Files go in
            different places. Better places.
     - per-CPU irq count area. Better for caches, simpler code.
     - "mem_map + MAP_NR(x)" => virt_to_page(x)
            (*) Purely syntactic change at this point. NUMA memory handling
            will take advantage of this during 2.5.x
     - page_address() returns (void *) to make it clearer that it is a
       virtual address (it's the reverse of "virt_to_page()", see above).
     - zimage builds should work again.
     - Make current gcc's able to compile the kernel.
     - fix irq probing in IDE driver: this caused strange irq problems for
       other drivers later on (notably PCMCIA, which is one of the few
       drivers to still probe for ISA interrupts on modern machines).
     - Intel microcode update update.
     - mips/mips64/sh/sparc/sparc64/acorn updates
     - DAC960 driver update
     - floppy shouldn't scream on open/close
     - console driver does correct palette setting.  No more black screens
       with XF86-4.x
     - ISDN updates
     - PCI layer can assign resources from multiple IO and memory windows
     - yenta_socket driver no longer oopsable on unload.
     - flush_dcache_page() for more virtual dcache coherency issues
     - ext2_get_block() races fixed
     - jffs bugfixes galore.
     - user resource tracking infrastructure re-organization.
     - umsdos works again.
     - loopback shouldn't deadlock
