I just made a new p10 patch ("p10-2.gz" on ftp.kernel.org). I'll be
releasing that as 2.0.31 within a day or two (I have to - I'm leaving town
for two weeks, so this time you _know_ I can't delay any more). The
differences between 2.0.31-9 and p10 are:

- more fixes for the aic7xxx scsi driver
- eata and u14-34f driver fixes
- smbfs fixes (correct module use counts, fix inode attributes)
- udelay change (TEST THIS! I can't - people who have seen the "random
udelay" thing please verify that this approach _really_ fixes the
fluctuations).
- SIGIO security fix
- serial flip buffer overrun fix
- transparent proxy should work again (it got broken by the new socket
hashing)
- IP alias fixes (avoid arp problems etc)

The patches are larger than I hoped for (surprise surprise), but it's not
too bad: the gzipped patch-file is around 32kB.

I'd ask especially the udelay people to verify that this actually _does_
make a difference on those machines where udelay used to fluctuate - I
haven't got access to any such machine.
