These changes are archived on ftp.emlist.com:pub/kchanges and
http://www.nvg.unit.no/linux-changes/index.html. I cannot answer
questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel patches after
reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone, but kernel
hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the patches
themselves. I'm not going to bother summarizing the sparc, m68k, and
alpha architecture changes until the respective port is working.
Updated CREDITS and added Greg Page.
Makefile module support improved.
README.modules added (user-level info).
ALPHA irq support frobbed.
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS added to i386/config.in
SPARC changes.
Fix minor roundup problem in network driver initialization.
Compressed SLIP now uses ip_fast_csum.
Reduce debugging output for Tulip (DEC 21040) driver.
Bug fixed in filesystem buffering.
More PCI vendor and device id's defined.
symtab entries (for the purposes of modules) are now defined on the fly.
When memory-mapping files, if the file isn't open for writing, just use a
private mapping.
Oops, the new memory-mapping protection flags aren't set properly.
