test11-pre1

[Linus Torvalds]

Mostly driver updates.

With a few notable exceptions: two rather subtle MM race conditions that
happened with SMP and highmem respectively. And the FXCSR and file locking
that was already discussed on the list.

Shouldn't you be having a party right now? Anyhow, congratulations so far
with the IPO, also to hpa & cow-orkers. I hope the stock still does as well
after 6 months :-)

Please don't do this in one go. Flag days are bad.

	1. Add the inter_module_xxx stuff.
	2. Let it propagate into 2.2. get_module_symbol() is actually
		broken there, although I'd fixed it in 2.4.
	3. Let the existing users convert.
	4. _Then_ remove get_module_symbol().

I've once again attached this very small patch for !CONFIG_INET.  Summary:
This is a very minor patch for fs/nls/Config.in, which Petr Vandrovec came up   
with.  The problem is that if CONFIG_INET is n, CONFIG_SMB_FS is never set
so fs/nls/Config.in assumes that the user wants to select some NLS options.
This fixes it and works on config/menuconfig/xconfig.  It's been ok'ed by
the SMB maintainer, so could this please go in?

This is still vs 2.4.10-test8 or so, but the file hasn't changed any, nor has
the problem, so...
