[ANNOUNCE] 2.4.19-pre5-ac3-s45

[Paul P Komkoff Jr]

I recently updated -stingr series kernel to version s45. This will add a
couple of wli's hashes, parts from -aa tree, large (>2G) file support to
smbfs, and Ingo's irqrate.

This is currently installed on my proxy server and now I have CPU usage
reduced from excessive to reasonable value (50%). I believe credits for this
improvements should go to wli.

Say, could you ask me about my unannounced patches when you integrate
them into some sort of released patch set? It might prove helpful for
you and save me some explanations.

There is a reason these are unannounced.


Thanks,
