compat-drivers based on v3.8.3

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

Greg has blessed Linux v3.8.3 so we get to backport drivers for this
release for usage on older kernels through compat-drivers, you can
either visit the v3.8.3 release page [0] or the temporary release page
[1]. This release has been test compiled against vanilla Linux kernel
releases v2.6.24 - v3.7. Below I provide the ChangeLog for this
release for the changes made to compat and compat-drivers, for the
full ChangeLog that includes Linux kernel changes you can refer to the
upstream full ChangeLog [2].

We have 5 type of releases based on v3.8.3, there is a vanilla release
and then 4 releases which incorporate additional patches from sources
on their way to get upstream to the Linux kernel. The additional
releases are designed to ensure we prioritize Linux upstream
development but at the same time allow OEMs / users / mothers to get
releases with additional patches vendors deem important for
functionality, we simply categorize where those patches are on their
way upstream to the Linux kernel. For more information on this see the
additional-patches documentation on the backports wiki [3].

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release!

================================================================
ChangeLog for compat-drivers-v3.8.3-2 based on linux-3.8.3
================================================================

This is the ChangeLog for the Linux kernel project compat-drivers.
It provides a backport of a few Linux kernel subsystems down to
older kernels:

  * 802.11
  * Bluetooth
  * Ethernet
  * DRM

For more details refer to the home pages:

https://backports.wiki.kernel.org

The compat-drivers project consists of code from three projects:

  * The Linux kernel: linux-stable.git
  * Compat-wirelesS: compat-drivers.git
  * Compat: compat.git

The compat-drivers stable releases incorporates code from from
each of these git trees for the respective upstream Linux kernel
stable release. A branch called linux-3.x.y exists for each
stable release. Below we provide the ChangeLog of changes from
the previous branched release to the new branched release.

Release: linux-3.8
