Diff between 2.4.6pre3aa1 and 2.4.6pre3aa2:

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_alpha-numa-initrd-1

        (recommended)

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_alpha-srm-2.4.6-pre1-1

        Access the srm variables via /proc/srm_environment.
        Patch posted to l-k by Jan-Benedict Glaw <jbglaw@lug-owl.de>.

        (nice to have)

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_initrd-release-blkdev-1

        Remeber to release the opened blkdev after initrd load.

        (recommended)

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_ksoftirqd-6_ia64-1
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_ksoftirqd-6_ppc-1

        softirq updates for ppc and ia64.

        (recommended)

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_locks-1

        Fix from ac16 (avoid corrupting the lock_depth).

        (recommended)

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_max-threads-1

        Each task is going to take more than 2 pages. There's
        also the pid limit and the per-user limit but turning
        the default down is good idea. Fix from Rik from ac16.

        (recommended)

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_swapinfo-1

        Only show deviecs when then swap_map is been allocated
        to avoid oops during swapon. Fix from
        Paul Menage <pmenage@ensim.com>.

        (nice to have)

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa1/30_tux: 30_atomic-lookup-3
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2/30_tux: 30_atomic-lookup-4

        Introduce O_ATOMICLOOKUP for ppc equal to 01000000.

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 40_experimental/40_blkdev-pagecache-3

        Optional patch to apply to move the blkdev from buffercache to
        pagecache. At the moment this breaks the ramdisk and in turn initrd.
        Read the 40_experimental/README for more details. Like the tux patches
        this one is not included into the global diff (2.4.6pre3aa2.{gz,bz2}).
