Linux 2.5.12-dj1

Back up to date against Linus. Lots of resyncing going on, still quite a lot left to go too.

It's lost ~2MB in overall size over the last month, which isn't bad considering quite a bit has also been going in at the same time. The framebuffer work I'm leaving to James. Eventually it will all disappear from my tree magically. Hopefully.

As usual,..
Patch against 2.5.12 vanilla is available from:

"dev_list" is now defined in two files and I got the following compile error when building a kernel with all Bluetooth drivers compiled statically into the kernel:

You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of
time explaining its a free country because its a police state.

The chunk of code introduced to the ramdisk code in 2.5.12-dj1 is a forward port of what happened in 2.4. It probably needs fixing up again (I've rewritten and jiggled it a little since the initial forward port). I'm not entirely sure it works as advertised anymore.

It's on my radar, I'll take a look for the next patch I put out.

Dave.
