Linux 2.4.21-rc4

Hi,

Here goes -rc4, hopefully fixing all problems now.

rc5 will only be released in case of REALLY bad problems.

Please test it extensively.

Summary of changes from v2.4.21-rc3 to v2.4.21-rc4
============================================

<[email protected]>:
o IPMI fixes

<[email protected]>:
o Fix writing to /dev/console

Barry K. Nathan <[email protected]>:
o Correctly fix the ioperm issue

Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email protected]>:
o Update ide/ppc/pmac.c
o Fix controlfb build with gcc3.3
o PPC32 Fix warning with ndelay (with patch !)

Marcelo Tosatti <[email protected]>:
o Changed EXTRAVERSION to -rc4

  o Cset exclude: [email protected]|ChangeSet|20030526190224|33683

o Really fix xconfig breakage

Not really a bad problem, but CONFIG_PDC202XX_BURST should be selectable even if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD=m
You decide if this goes into 2.4.21. I do not feel strongly about it.

My fix for the xconfig breakage also included this IDE config fix. When you excluded the cset, it got lost.

Attached is the diff on top of your tree.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel

It seems Alan still has some very important fixes pending. If so, I'll release -rc5 tomorrow with your stuff.

Otherwise it will have to wait for .22-pre.
