hi all,
sorry it took so long getting this one out --- Linus slow down!!
I hope to have 74 & 75 out soon ... but 76 (1.4Meg) may take me awhile)

Enjoy,

Anand.

Linux Kernel Patch Change Summary 1.1.72 --> 1.1.73

akum...@socs.uts.edu.au
wildf...@ftoomsh.socs.uts.edu.au

NOTE:
Lines which contain an [?] mean I am unsure of if I am right.
Some files only have some pieces of code of added or changed, if I
thought the change/addition was insignifgant (or to hard to
understand) I will note that the file was altered and not how.

==========================================================================

SUMMARY
=======
Added support for the Quantum ISA-200S SCSI Adapter
SCSI, SLIP and CSLIP as modules
Calculate BogoMIPS on various platforms
Even more work on the Sparc port.

linux/arch/i386/boot/head.S
---------------------------
now we don't just save the processor type, but also the
family, model and revision.

linux/arch/i386/config.in
-------------------------
moved the VESA configuation details from just after 'Use -m486
flag ... optimizations' to after 'Selection (cut & paste)'

added an option called 'Profile shift count' to, obviously,
assist with kernel profiling

linux/arch/sparc/boot/boot.S
/string.S
/drivers/block/floppy.c
----------------------------
many, many, many spelling and typo corrections

linux/drivers/char/ChangeLog
----------------------------
please see the ChangeLog for details

linux/drivers/char/console.c
----------------------------
changed procedure blank_screen to function do_blank_screen,
and changed procedure unblank_screen to do_unblank_screen.

changed over to using a dynamic buffer instead of a static one

defined blank_screen and unblank_screen to be "wrapper"s for
do_unblank/blank_screen.

linux/drivers/char/serial.c
---------------------------
added some more sanity checks.

linux/drivers/char/tty_io.c
/vt.c
---------------------------
altered to use the new functions do_blank/unblank_screen

changed the code to use the new functions

linux/drivers/net/MODULES
/slip.c
/slhc.c
-------------------------
modularized slip and slhc (compressed slip, cslip)

if config sl? up/down should now work

---------------------------
spelling correction

linux/drivers/net/depca.c
-------------------------
support (recognition of?) for the DE101

reorganized the initalization code for startup of network
cards

linux/drivers/net/ewrk3.c
-------------------------
now it checks for and "snarfs" (registers) required regions for
the network card to operate

linux/drivers/net/slip.h
------------------------
changed struct slip

linux/drivers/net/smc-ultra.c
-----------------------------
use shared memory

----------------------------
please see for details

linux/drivers/scsi/buslogic.c
-----------------------------
changed most of the debuging output

linux/drivers/scsi/buslogic.h
-----------------------------
shortened the copyright

linux/drivers/scsi/fdomain.c
----------------------------
support for the Quantum ISA-200S SCSI adapter

linux/drivers/scsi/hosts.c
--------------------------
spacing changes

linux/drivers/scsi/qlogic.c
---------------------------
additions so it can work with SCSI as a module

linux/drivers/scsi/scsi.c
-------------------------
try restarting SCSI if it has deadlocked

also save flags before disabling interrupts, restore them
instead of re-enabling the interupts

added entry points for modularization

linux/drivers/sound/gus_wave.c
------------------------------
minor editing changes

linux/fs/binfmt_elf.c

if we have an error getting write access to an inode, iput it

linux/fs/proc/array.c
inode.c
root.c
linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h
-----------------------------
profile extension, use readprofile to translate data

linux/fs/umsdos/dir.c
---------------------
return amount of data written in the direntry

linux/includes/asm-alpha/types.h
--------------------------------
added size_t, ssize_t and ptrdiff_t as types

linux/include/asm-alpha/unistd.h
--------------------------------
removed the "guts" of all the syscalls

defines and structures to access the OPENBOOT routines and
data area. Handles v0 and v2 ... soon v3.

linux/include/asm-sparc/string.h *new file*
--------------------------------
string routines ... as you would expect
all functions are extern

linux/include/asm-sparc/types.h

define types like char, short, int, long in both signed and
unsigned flavours

linux/include/linux/types.h
---------------------------
removed size_t, ssize_t and ptrdiff_t

---------------------
make sure a device which is going up is in all hosts[?]

linux/net/inet/ip.c
