- git-jfs.patch has been dropped due to its ongoing git problems.

- Added Al Viro's `bird' tree (what does that mean, anyway?) as
git-viro-bird.patch.

This tree had a lot of things dropped when it is merged into -mm, partly
because some of it appears to have been merged into other git trees.

- This kernel won't compile on ia64 (and possibly other architectures)
because the kbuild tree is using Elf_Rela in scripts/mod/modpost.c. Is OK
on x86, x86_64 and powerpc. Sam might send a hotfix?

- Many warnings are emitted at the link stage due to section mismatches and
duplicated symbol exports. Please don't report these. Patches are welcome,
but do them carefully - it's easy to make mistakes with these things.

Time for the brown paper bag............ ;)

Removing 'ccache' from the CC line in Makefile fixed this.
