Linux v2.5.33

[Linus Torvalds]

There's a fair amount of stuff in here again, but I'd personally like to 
have people who actually use that d*ng floppy driver please test it out. I 
finally broke down and tried to fix it, since it's been broken in 2.5.x 
for longer than most people care to remember.

I don't even have floppies to test with, I just verified that I could read
two old backup disks, and one seemed fine, and the other read 90% of the
thing, which was a lot more than I expected since they are both at least
five years old. I've never had good luck with those unreliable 3.5"  
things, I'd rather have as little to do with them as possible.

Anyway, apart from floppies, this has the IDE organizational cleanups by
Al, another merge with Andrew, and some new networking stuff (TCP
segmentation offload onto network cards, and initial cut of SCTP support).

And NTFS, JFS, and of course USB updates. Oh, and some of the keyboard 
input stuff should fix some random breakage in the input switchover.

Andy Grover <[e-mail]>:
  o Add arch-neutral support for parsing SLIT and SRAT tables (Kochi
    Takayoshi)
  o There are a few problems with ACPI init. One of these is that
    acpi=off will disable the ACPI interpreter init, but not stop the
    OS from using ACPI tables for finding CPUs and IOAPICs. Another
    problem is that if we use the tables, but then the interpreter
    fails to init, we are in deep trouble, because it is too late to
    revert to using MPS, but we cannot get _PRT info without the
    interpreter.
  o local_irq_disable is extraneous (Matthew Wilcox)
  o Ensure that the ACPI interrupt has the proper trigger and polarity
  o ACPI Remove unused file
  o ACPI interpreter update

Anton Altaparmakov <[e-mail]>:
  o NTFS: Add configuration option for developmental write support
  o NTFS: Initial implementation of mmap(2) based overwriting

    instead.
  o NTFS: Cleanups, mostly whitespace. Found during resync with 2.4
    backport
  o NTFS: Initial implementation of write(2) based overwriting of
    existing files on ntfs. (Note: Resident files are not supported
    yet, so avoid writing to files smaller than 1kiB.)
  o NTFS: 2.1.0 - First steps towards write support: implement file
    overwrite
  o NTFS: Add ifdef NTFS_RW arround ntfs_truncate and ntfs_setattr

Anton Blanchard <[e-mail]>:

    aio.c compiled)
  o ia64: Sync with 2.5.32 to get a working kernel
  o Create dummy file include/asm-ia64/mc146818rtc.h since
    ide-geometry.c continues to insist on it.

David S. Miller <[e-mail]>:
  o [SPARC64]: Ultra-III+ updates and better error trap logging
  o arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: Add spitfire_ prefix to
    clean_and_reenable_l1_caches, BUG on non-spitfire cpus

  o This converts all of the input USB drivers to manage DMA buffers
    via usb_buffer_alloc in 2.5.x  This helps platforms where doing a
    pci_{map,unmap}_single() on every input event is very inefficient.

Linus Torvalds <[e-mail]>:

  o The SCSI layer should _not_ try to decide about non-existent
    partitions. The higher layers do a better job of it.
  o Call con_init_devfs() to initialize VT subsystem for devfs
  o Make block device initialization initialize the request queue
    pointer before the device is opened.

    Config.in)
  o Don't use __func__ - not all versions of gcc support it

    more pasters..
  o Avoid unused variable warning when kmap() ends up being a no-op

    needs it for mouse autodetection.
  o Remove user configurable I8042_BASE/I8042_IRQs
  o In mousedev.c, don't send a zero mouse movement after a command if
    requested, also fix a possible race with two processes using the
    same file descriptor.
  o Ignore error 0xff - 'general error' in AUX wire test in i8042.c,
    some mainboards (Andrew Morton's Dell) report that even everything
    is okay with AUX. Also remove a check for very old AMI i8042's,
    which could generate false positives on modern buggy mainboards.
