Subject: [PATCHSET] Linux 2.4.19-pre10-jam3

Hi all..

Now that vm and O1 both are on -aa tree, these are just marginal patches
(apart from the ide patch). Also, the mix of -aa, some patches (irqrate,
smptimers) and bproc was bombing (I had lockups removing modules or at
spurious times), so I have removed both (irqrate, scalable-timers).
