Sorry,
I forgot to attach the feature list present in dj2..

Differences between 2.2.2ac7.dj2 and 2.2.2ac7.dj1

o drivers/pci/quirks.c
Now pokes the correct chip. The VIA VT82C597AT
o arch/i386/kernel/setup.c
CPU stepping no longer prints leading zero.
o arch/i386/kernel/time.c
Changed CPU speed reporting from Hz to Mhz.
How many CPU's have you seen running in Hz ? :)
o drivers/char/nvram.c
Removed leading space from hd0 type.
Added recognition for 2.88M 3.5" drive.

Differences between 2.2.2ac7.dj1 and 2.2.2ac7:

o lib/vsprintf.c
Now prints strings with '%%' in them as '%'.
Should stop strange texts in dmesg output.
Could this be 'the longest-living bug in Linux' as mentioned in
the CREDITS file by Lars Wirzenius ? :-)
o drivers/pci/quirks.c
Added bridge optimisation for VIA 82C586 chipset.
Fullstops added to some strings that had them missing.
o drivers/net/ne2k-pci.c
Added support for DLink CT528 (http://www.dlink.com)
This ugly is a clone of a RealTek 8029, which is a clone of an
NE2k. Most bizarre. Even more bizarre, they used almost the same
PCI info, so adding code to read the subsystem was necessary.
o arch/i386/kernel/apm.c
Removed two unused vars.
o arch/sparc64/kernel/cpu.c
Corrected typo "Unknow CPU"
