It's been a while since I did one of these, and with so many
pending patches in my queue, a large 2.4 sync, and a number
of people asking for the status of various code/merges, I
thought I'd put up a state-of-play diff.
Quite a bit in here (and lots more pending), passes the
scientific "it boots" test, but as always, tread carefully.
I'll try and pick up the pace again as before, but with various
other work related projects looming, we'll see how things go..
As usual,..

Hi Dave,
it seems there was a problem when generating the patch, the following
doesn't seem to be intended (and causes compile errors):
--- linux-2.5.39/include/linux/kernel.h 2002-09-27 22:48:34.000000000 +0100

You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of
time explaining its a free country because its a police state.

Indeed. My guess is I missed a bk -r get before doing the diff.
I'll put a -dj2 fixing this and any other missing files later.
