Differences between 2.1.131ac4 and 2.1.131ac5

o IRDA merge (Dag)
| For those wondering 'feature freeze', you'll note that the
| actual kernel impact of these patches on the existing code is
| 3 lines. Two of which are #ifdef and #endif....
o Assorted compile fixes - especially for Alpha (various)
o Further rmdir cleanups (Alexander Viro)
o VM updates (Rik,Stephen)
o IDE reset/assorted timer wrap fixes (Jens Axboe)
o knfsd cache handling bug fix (David Mansfield)
o Masq update (Juanjo)
o Message queues can be bigger and are tunable via /proc (Peeter Joot)
| Note - this has libc compatibility issues but only if you set the
| queue sizes bigger than 64K. So the as shipped kernel is back
| compatible. (if its not shout now)
o Moved some PCI ethernet drivers into the PCI section
o ps/aux preprocessor tweak
o Extra SMC card added to pci defs
o Another bunch of compile combination fixes from Arjan (not all he
sent are in but most)
o CONFIG_SMP (Michael Chastain)
