We can now remove the extra rule for $(export-objs) and instead
just use

$(export-objs): export_flags := -DEXPORT_SYMTAB

to set a variable $(export_flags) for targets listed in $(export-objs)

Add some comments to explain the magic, use $(if), which will
be needed for other places anyway.

That means we up the make requirements to 3.78, which is a couple of
years old, so basically anybody should have it already.

init/version.o includes include/linux/compile.h. As compile.h was
regenerated each time make was run, init/version.o was recompiled each
time.

To avoid this, use the following solution: Generate a temporary new
compile.h, and only replace the old one if the new one is different.

We consider the files different if more than just date/time changed, since
otherwise we would have to rebuild every time anyway.

Still, the two files turned out to be different all the time, as we put
a generation number into them which is incremented at each invocation of 
"make". The generation number update is now only done when the kernel
config changes, which makes more sense, anyway.

So, the UTS_VERSION and generation number now relate to the time the 
kernel was configured, not the time the actual "make vmlinux" was run, 
which should be fine.

Also, put the #define UTS_MACHINE ... from the command line into
the header as well.

Group related things together, like building vmlinux,
building modules, generating dependency, configuration, etc.

Nobody is building files from the top-level Makefile anyway, and
if they were, they should use the standard assembler rules 
provided by Rules.make

The targets {sgml,ps,pdf,html} docs work as before, but
the handling is now completely in Documentation/DocBook/Makefile.

The ROOT_DEV, SVGA_MODE and RAMDISK variables are i386/x86_64
specific, so move them to arch/$(ARCH)/boot/Makefile, this
is where they are used.

They still can be overridden on the command line like before,
though I doubt anybody is still using them.

Ok, here it is.  The following arch are not covered:
Mips, Mips64 in 32-bit mode, parisc in __LP64__ mode.

In addition, x86_64 mentions jiffies in the existing script.
This may be a problem.

This prevents a deadlock in JFS.

Noted by Keith Owens.

This removes the old alternates to export_operations for exporting a
filesystem.

It removes fh_to_dentry, dentry_to_fh, and s_nfsd_free_path_sem.  It
also removes a lot of code.

The fs/ntfs change is because it was setting fh_to_dentry and
dentry_to_fh (which no longer exist) to NULL.

ISOFS to use export_operations to declare exportability

Exporting ISO's has never been very reliable
as lookup("..") doesn't work (even though there is
some code that tries to pretend that it does).

This means that if an inode falls out of cache, any
filehandle on it will become stale.

This makes that level of support explicit with an empty
export_operations structure.  get_parent could be written....
but not today.

Basically PCI driver handling reorganization. This is one step further
ahead toward the goal of fully modularized host chip drivers.

 - Adjust ide-scsi to the new error handling. Just don't try any device
   resets there.

 - Add unmasking of IRQ per default to the PMac PCI code.

 - Split up the crap table from ide-pci. Let the corresponding drivers do
   registration of the functions they provide. This small change makes
   this patch rather big.

 - Hard-code the number of ports requested for DMA engines. They are always
   precisely 8 on PCs. If you hove something different to deal with,
   well then please just provide your own init_dma method.

 - Remove the HDIO_GETGEO_BIG ioctl. Patch by Andries Brouwer. Applies
   unmodified.

 - Make ON_BOARD be equal 0, so we can spare ourself some typing in structure
   initialization.

 - Normalize the terminology in the host chip drivers. It will make spotting
   the tons of common code found there later easier.

removed pcihpfs_statfs(), as it's not used anymore.

update the ibm pci hotplug driver to the latest version.  Contains lots of
small bugfixes and added features for new hardware.

This adds support for recent powermac models and fixes a few bugs.
