This patch addresses the following issues:


01. makes CFQ the default scheduler, to be in line with the rest of the kernel.

02. since linkstations are meant to store files, enable large blk devices.

03. disable CONFIG_MIGRATION in in such low memory devices.

04. disable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM.

do we not allow booting a ramdisk?

05. disable CONFIG_SCSI_LOWLEVEL, as no device under that tree is used.

06. idem for CONFIG_NETDEV_10000.

07. idem for CONFIG_WIRELESS.

08. idem for CONFIG_HWMON.

09. idem for CONFIG_CRYPTO_HW.

10. disable CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL.

11. keep consistency and disable extended attributes in CIFS, ext3, and NFS.

12. enable CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME.

Dear Kumar, please, apply this one.

I have another patch regarding one regression regarding MTD &
PHYSMAP_COMPAT that I plan to send on top of this one.

Thanks.

Ok, can we look at just specifying such info in the linkstation device tree.

Also, can you break this defconfig update into two patches. 1. that just updates to 2.6.30-rc3 (or latest) and 2. that makes the various changes you've listed above.
