Subject: Uvesafb and token-ring in 2.6.24-rc1 broken

Hi!

Like always, pleas CC me as I'm currently not suscribed, I hope I got the
right persons already in list.

When booting my new shiny 2.6.24-rc1 I get a crash if uvesafb is compiled in.
The trace mentiones something about "platform_match", so I guess this is due
x86 unification.
If helpfull I could try getting something over netconsole, but I think this is
a minor glitch, as vesafb boots fine. :)

Ah, and token ring tells me something like
"/net/token-ring ,3.14 sysctl failed check procname does not match binary path
procname"
But kernel boots otherwise and I got no chance to test tr itself is working.

Correct the token-ring sysctl procname.

"token-ring" is the historical name we have used in /proc/sys despite it
being abbreviated tr in the kernel. So this fix is definitely
correct.

Sorry about that. Given this bug and the atalk bug it looks like
I failed to QA the number to name mapping properly under net/.
I just looked at those entries again and I don't see any other
entries under net/ that have problems.

Hopefully this is the last of my silly bugs in this table.

Eric
