hello!

you'll find the patch at:
http://debian.stro.at/kjt/2.6.7-rc1-kjt1/2.6.7-rc1-kjt1.patch.bz2
updated split out patches:
http://debian.stro.at/kjt/2.6.7-rc1-kjt1/split/

this patch is intended for further _testing_ of our work.
i hope that it helps Acme releasing the official kj ones.
i won't forward anything to maintainers or lkml.
will try to release on weekly/10days base.

same rules applies for kjt as of previous kj by Randy:
patch that gets an objection on the list don't get in 
until reworked rediff.

critics welcome + bug me if i forgot something.
maks

so what's in - mostly patches below drivers
take a look:

This patch applies to linux-2.6.7-rc1
