Catching up with the backlog that ensued whilst resyncing.

This brings things up to date with whats going on in 2.4, and syncs up with
Linus' tree.  This is a fairly large resync (5 pre releases), so I'm expecting
some things to break in various places. The USB bits in particular might need
a little more rejiggling.

Even with the 3 2.4pre merges, my tree is currently still 6MB apart from
mainline, with more bits heading off to Linus sometime in the next week.
Some small bits are also going to trickle in over the next few -dj's to
try and get through the huge patch backlog.

As usual,..
Patch against 2.5.7 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/

Merged patch archive: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/

Check http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/Linux-2.5.html before reporting
known bugs that are also in mainline.
