* Small fixes to various long standing bugs, various architecture and
* driver cleanups. The 2.4.10-ac tree now seems pretty solid.

* Email warning: It's possible my static ip range will evaporate
* about monday. If so that may cause some disruption to the
* ukuu.org.uk, bc.nu, cabal.tm domains and to my email while I shuffle
* stuff around.
