[Patch] Kernel configuration in kernel, kernel 2.5.53

[Paul Rolland <rol@as2917.net>]

Hello,

Here is the 2.5.53 version of the patch I just sent to the list for 2.4.20
Main differences are in the Makefile and Kconfig. the C source code hasn't changed.

This has been tested on a standard 2.5.53 without problem, just one important
point : you need to activate /proc support.

This constraint is not present in the Kconfig entry, as I don't know how to do.
Any idea welcome...

Regards,
Paul Rolland, rol@as2917.net
