Linux 2.6.10-ac1

[Alan Cox]

Linux 2.6.10-ac1 is a merge of the stuff that has not yet been accepted
upstream along with a couple of small extra changes that are needed because
of changes in 2.6.10 base. In addition the generic IRQ work in 2.6.10 means
that the forward port of the irqpoll code now covers a lot more platforms.

While this has had a lot less testing than 2.6.9-ac16 it does contain much
better core USB and SCSI code so may in some cases be worth an early move.

Arjan van de Ven is now building RPMS of the kernel and those can be found
in the RPM subdirectory and should be yum-able. Expect the RPMS to lag the
diff a little as the RPM builds and tests do take time.


Key:	o	- only in -ac
	*	- already fixed upstream
	X	- discarded later as wrong
	+	- ac specific (fix not relevant to non -ac)

o	Fix reset problems with older 3c59x/3c90x	(John Linville)

	| 100Hz is great for battery life
o	Delkin cardbus IDE support			(Mark Lord)
o	IT8212 IDE support				(Alan Cox)
o	Add more AC97 table data
o	Token ring locking fix

o	Restore PWC driver				(Luc Saillard)
	| Please port away from remap_page_range
o	Fix AT2701FX AMD PCnet32 on fibre		(Guido Guenther)
o	Fix build of CS461x gameport			(Adrian Bunk)

	- This means you get better diagonstics on CD errors
	- It means a partial I/O failure will get you back the ok sectors
	- It may fix the problem some users have with ISO copying and ide-cd
o	Lock ide-proc against driver unload		(Alan Cox)
	(very low severity)
o	Fix ide /proc and legacy devices problem	(Alan Cox)
