- 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.

Minor dependency issue:

My compile failed with this..

CC [M] net/netfilter/xt_dccp.o
In file included from net/netfilter/xt_dccp.c:15:
include/linux/dccp.h:341:2: error: #error "At least one CCID must be built as the default"
make[2]: *** [net/netfilter/xt_dccp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [net/netfilter] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error 2
[root@tornado linux-2.6-mm]#

[I have no idea what a CCID is]

But it was caused by this:

CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_DCCP=m

and maybe this below had an impact:

#
# DCCP Configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)
#
# CONFIG_IP_DCCP is not set

After unsetting the option to build the DCCP Netfilter module, I was able to compile through to completion.
