Linux 2.4.28-pre1

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Hi, 

Here goes the first 2.4.28 -pre release.

It contains a big SATA update with long list of fixes,
a networking update (mainly SCTP fixes), lib crypto fixes and 
the addition of the Khazad algorithm, add prism54 wireless driver,
SPARC64 update, cciss SCSI driver fixes, couple of storage devices 
added to SCSI device list, agpgart support for i915 chipset, 
OOM killer rare-case bugfixes, a VM bugfix which could 
cause deadlocks under OOM conditions, a bunch of warnings fixes, 
and initial support for gcc 3.4.

I still have a few bugfixes pending on my inbox, which should
be merged next week.

Read the detailed changelog for more details
