a bit more closely.

This marks check_region "deprecated".

This gives a nice warning messages for programs that still use
check_region for example:

 drivers/parport/parport_pc.c:2215: warning: `__check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:111)

This patch adds support for usage of the attribute as "deprecated" and
is backward-compatible.  Usage is:

	int deprecated foo(void)

etc..

If we mark a function as deprecated, then each use of the function emits
a warning like:

	foo.c:12: warning: `baz' is deprecated (declared at bar.c:60)

Which is very informative, giving both the location of each usage and
where the little bastard is declared.

Switch to larger operating GDT after moving to protected mode

This is necessary to boot on certain subarchs (voyager)

Also localises the parameters and setup into kernel/timers

Adds an external flag so that the tsc can be disabled from the
machine specific setup (used by voyager)

Patch suggested by Randy Dunlap

Add support for the AMD Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8 line to the 32bit
kernel.

Mostly just reusing Athlon code with some changed CPU model checks.
The Hammer has model number 15.

I also fixed rmb()/mb() to use the SSE2 mfence/lfence instructions
on P4 and Hammer. They are somewhat cheaper than the locked cycle.

 - Optimize __copy*user a bit.
 - Merge with 2.5.53/i386
 - Fix broken 32bit signal handling.
 - Implement AT_SYSINFO and a vsyscall page for 32bit programs.
 - Fix 32bit SYSCALL entry point to handle 6 arguments and restart correctly.
 - Add oprofile support (Vojtech Pavlik, with changes by me)
   This is shared code with i386.

The x86-64 port shares the oprofile code with i386.  This needs some
minor changes in the i386 oprofile, mostly to use
instruction_pointer(regs) to access the EIP instead of referencing it
directly.  On i386 this is a nop.

The following patch fixes a "uninitialized timer" message when loading
yenta_socket.ko.

into home.transmeta.com:/home/torvalds/v2.5/linux

the url for module-init-tools has been fixed, and all the references to
modutils (outside source) has been updated if necessary.

more patches to follow to fix up the modules.conf/conf.modules vs.
modprobe.conf references.

Convert m68k scsi drivers to new local_irq*() framework:
  - 53c7xx SCSI core
  - NCR53C9x ESP SCSI core
  - Atari NCR5380
  - Mac NCR5380
  - Sun-3 OBIO and VME NCR5380

Kill warnings in Q40 keyboard driver:
  - wrong return type
  - unused variable

z2ram: kill unused variables

STRAM: kill warning because of incorrect printf()-style format

Amiga FastLane SCSI: Zorro drivers must use z_io{re,un}map().

Remove Sun-3/3x serial support, use the new serial layer instead
