Linux 2.5.7-dj1

[Dave Jones]

Resync, add compile fixes, simmer for 30 mins on low heat.
Add random pending patches to taste.

Still untested beyond 'it compiles', handle with care.
Mostly a 'standing still' release, I'll catch up with 2.4.19pre next time.

As usual,..

Linux 2.5.7-dj1

[Dave Jones]

This catches up with the bits and pieces that have happened in 2.4 over the
last few weeks, scoops up this weeks Linux-kernel bits, and throws in
various compile fixes so it hopefully all works out.
Particularly of note in this one are Andre's ide fixes, feedback appreciated
from anyone seeing problems in 2.5 mainline.

In other news, work has begun splitting this monster diff into lots of
Bitkeeper trees. Hopefully when Linus gets back, resyncing is going to be
a lot easier than it used to be.

Anton A reported an error so I need to go back and see what else got
broken before this release.  Since there is not diag layer anymore it is
all a pig in a poke :-/

Ok, thanks. I'll take a look at that later, even if it means reverting

  I haven't d/l this version (and I'm generally not even trying 2.5 at the
moment), but I would bet the include which defines strtok got zapped or
moved.

Indeed, in my tree strtok is dead, replaced with some fairly trivial
code that uses strsep. This is one of those cases that fell through the
gaps, and is worthy of adding to my 'check diff before uploading'
script.

You could always just patch that layer back in to do the testing...
