Diff between 2.4.19pre7aa2 and 2.4.19pre7aa3:

Only in 2.4.19pre7aa3: 00_alpha-numa-VALID_PAGE-1

Fix VALID_PAGE for virt_to_page outside the ram space. Bug found by Russell King. Alternate cleaner (but more invasive) fix for 2.5 is availabe from Roman Zippel. Doesn't worth to change the VALID_PAGE logic in 2.4 IMHO.

Only in 2.4.19pre7aa2: 00_get_pid-no-deadlock-and-boosted-2 Only in 2.4.19pre7aa3: 00_get_pid-no-deadlock-and-boosted-3

s/set_pid/__set_pid/ noticed by Russell King.

Only in 2.4.19pre7aa3: 00_initrd-free-1

/dev/root.old is been moved under /old after / is been moved to /old. Found and fixed by Michael Schroeder.

Only in 2.4.19pre7aa2: 00_max_bytes-3
Only in 2.4.19pre7aa3: 00_max_bytes-4

Export symbol so intermezzo can compile.

Only in 2.4.19pre7aa3: 00_pre7ac3-p4-xeon-1

	Recognize p4-xeon. Extracted from the diff between
	2.4.19pre7ac2 and 2.4.19pre7ac3.

Only in 2.4.19pre7aa2: 00_rcu-poll-4
Only in 2.4.19pre7aa3: 00_rcu-poll-5

Drop a buggy optimization that could lead not to reach the quiescent state in the cpu runing rcu_prepare_polling(). From Paul McKenney. Harmless bug inside -aa because it's used only in the rmmod path.

Only in 2.4.19pre7aa3: 00_timer_bh-deadlock-1

Forward port to 2.4 this old longstanding anti deadlock timer fix that is been merged in 2.2 ages ago.

For what module? (Don't say a agp/drm upgrade!) As the person who invented wake_up_page I can't really see a good reason for it anymore. Every single caller should have used unlock_page() instead.

that's a drm upgrade indeed.

Agreed, thanks for noticing.
