Linux 2.5.5-dj1

[Dave Jones]

Mostly just syncing with Linus, plus the next round of small bits.
I backed out the IDE changes for various reasons, handle with
care in case I missed something.

Patch against 2.5.5 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/

By popular request, the curious can now find most of what
was merged in each release at http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/
