The comma changes are gratuitous, as pure ANSI C explicitly allows such
constructs. (It was intended to simplify automatic code generation, as
well as for programmer ease to automatically deal with initializer
lists.)

>From the grammar section of the 2nd edition (ca. 1988) of K&R:
	initializer:
		assignment-expression
		{ initializer-list }
		{ initializer-list , }

...where initializer list is what one would expect.

Removing the size forward declarations does make the code quicker to
read, though.

Yeah, it's hard to see it as an "extension" when my copy of K&R (1978)
shows the same thing...

Ok, it's out there now, again there may well have been patches I missed, I
concentrated on the fundamental ones (ie starting LSM merge, and most
noticeably probably merging Rik's rmap patch through Andrew Morton along
with other work by Andrew).

AGP split up and cleaned up, IDE patches 99-100 and 4GB FAT32 support.

And the inevitable USB updates, of course.
