Linux 2.5.15-dj1

Clearing out the pending folder once again.
I cheated a little this time, and took a bunch of pending items from Linus' bitkeeper tree in a vain hope to cut down merging time later. This also drops a few 'stagnant' items from my tree as well as those mentioned further down the changelog.

As usual,..

Patch against 2.5.15 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/

Merged patch archive: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/

Check http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/Linux-2.5.html before reporting known bugs that are also in mainline.
