Hello,
this patch (against 2.5.49) updates Documentation/magic-number.txt to the
current state of kernel. It was pretty abadonded in the last few years, so I
did my best, but it's possible (given the charge and intensity of the magical
field covering the whole kernel) that I still missed some of the magic numbers
- so, if you will notice your favourite magic number missing there, please
speak up. Note that I will probably make another update after few further
kernel releases.
Also, since some of the subsystems introduce fairly large amount of magic
numbers, I placed simply references to the header files where the magic numbers
are defined to the end of the file. I also made few tidyups (removal of tabs
and reordering of few misplaced magics).
I hope the patch is ok, there should be no problems with it. Please apply.

Note that this is the fourth submission of the patch. There are no magic
changes between 2.5.48 and 2.5.49, thus I only changed the kernel version and
date.
Kind regards,
Petr Baudis

+Updated the magic table to Linux 2.5.49. After the feature freeze
+already, but it is possible that some new magic numbers will sneak into
+the kernel before 2.6.x yet.

+
+IrDA subsystem also uses large number of own magic numbers, see
+include/net/irda/irda.h for a complete list of them.

+HFS is another larger user of magic numbers - you can find them in
+fs/hfs/hfs.h.
