[PATCHSET] 2.6.15-rc6-bird1

[Al Viro <viro@ftp.linux.org.uk>]

	Here it comes, after a long delay...  I'm mostly done with
moving the tree to use of git (at least internally), so with any
luck the next revision will be available as a git tree on kernel.org.
For now, it's just a patch.

URL: ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/people/viro/patch-2.5.16-bird1.bz2

URL of splitup: same place, bird-mbox.  It's stored as git-format-patch
output; i.e. an mbox consisting of individual changesets.

Changes since the last time: a lot.  Moreover, a lot of stuff had come
_through_ the tree and got merged upstream in the meanwhile.  The list
of targets remains the same, ppc and ppc64 had migrated to ARCH=powerpc.
The rest of ppc variants remain on the ARCH=ppc; they still don't build
on ARCH=powerpc.

Coming soon: mips variants and frv added to tracked targets list.  That's
nearly finished, the main problem with frv is that some bits of gcc are
_still_ not in mainline ("U" constraint support).

It's an open season on endianness annotations; feel free to send such
stuff, this time update latency will stay tolerable, honest...

There will be a separate posting on the build setup; there had been a lot
of improvements since the last time, most notable ones being
	* integration of ccache
	* finally, a tolerable support of build clusters (basically,
source trees on build boxen are cloned from a branch in master git repository;
targets are split among the build boxen, any fixes done in a source tree
on a build box are simply pushed to master and then pulled to other build
boxen; on master they are cherry-picked to topic branches; from time to time
upstream in pulled to master; when needed, topic branches are rebased).

I've moved FC4 build boxen to recent binutils and I would like to spend
a few pages on expression of my opinion on that code and changes in it.
However, l-k is supposed to be more or less printable, so let's just
say that doing an as(1) replacement from scratch becomes more and more
attractive ;-/  Never would've thought that I would agree with Ulrich...
