Noname patch

A Noname patch and kernel reflecting the current state of my kernel is
in the usual place:

ftp://cage.cs.arizona.edu/pub/linux/{axp-diff-1.3.3-noname.gz,vmlinux-1.3.3.gz}

Notice that the filenames didn't change compared to the last snapshot.
The patch is relative to 1.3.3 + Linus's Alpha patches.

Not much has changed: the PS/2 auxiliary device fix is in there (at
least I *hope* it fixes the problem) and a few additional syscalls are
defined (the module related system calls, in particular). However, I
won't have physical access during the coming week so I figured it's a
good point in time to make the this patch available.

Notice that you'll need Bob's user-level environment to use this
kernel (in particular for directory-reading programs such as "ls").

If you haven't tried already: MS-DOS filesystem support seems to be
working now (I think it's due to Linus's cleanup of the dirent stuff).
There are some unaligned accesses that will show up as warnings, but
those should are harmless as the kernel will emulate them correctly
(albeit slowly).

Enjoy,
