Linux 2.5.6-dj1

Mostly just a 'catching up' release after my weeklong haitus.
Almost up to date with 2.4, and right up to date with 2.5 (for today at least)
This one hasn't had any testing beyond "it compiles" (testboxes are still in
packing boxes, and I'm currently a few hundred KM from home), so tread
carefully. This one is mostly just a resync-point just to start the
probably imminent 2.5.7 afresh.

Oh, and as in 2.5.7pre2, disable ACPI. It's more borken than usual.

There's still a mountain of pending bits to dig through, and lots of work
to be done in the "splitting up bits for Linus" dept.

As usual,..
Patch against 2.5.6 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/

Merged patch archive: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/

Check http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/Linux-2.5.html before reporting
known bugs that are also in mainline.
