Hi, I just made a new kernel available, as the 1.3.58 that I made before
USENIX had some problems (I was kind of hurried, what can I say?). I'm
still in California, so this kernel has been done remotely (and thus has
less testing than normal, if that is possible), but I hope it will fix
most of the problems despite that.

Anyway, 1.3.59 does:
- added the long-awaited vortex driver (this has been extensively used
for several months, it just hadn't made it into the standard kernel).
- silly linux/axp makefile bug fixed.
- some page readahead fixes from Stephen
- APM update - fixes problems on some setups with buggy BIOSes
- busmouse irq fix
- AM53C974 SCSI driver
- minor aha152x fixes
- sound driver fixes to get sb16's working better
- ksyms fixes (compilation problems with SCSI enabled)

Let's hope I won't need to do another release from over here - I'm still
reading mail only sporadically.
