Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 00_getcwd-err-1
Only in 2.4.21pre4aa1: 00_getcwd-err-2

	Part of it merged in mainline.

Only in 2.4.21pre4aa1: 00_tcp-retrans-collapse-1

	Fix from David Miller and Alexey Kuznetsov for hw checksum
	missing memcpy of payload during retrans collapse.

Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 00_vma-file-merge-1
Only in 2.4.21pre4aa1: 00_vma-file-merge-2

	Two minor micro-optimizations (no functional noticeable difference).

Only in 2.4.21pre4aa1: 30_p3-p4-optimize-1

	Use prefetch for p4 too, and use the pentium4 and pentium4 compiler
	switchs so it avoids incl/decl (from Margit Schubert-While)

Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 9985_blk-atomic-aa5
Only in 2.4.21pre4aa1: 9985_blk-atomic-aa6

Only in 2.4.21pre3aa1: 9995_frlock-gettimeofday-1
Only in 2.4.21pre4aa1: 9995_frlock-gettimeofday-2

	Fix 486 SMP and the notsc mode (however nobody should need
	notsc these days on x86, numaq uses cyclone autodetected at boot now)

Only in 2.4.21pre4aa1: 9996_kiobuf-slab-1

	Keep the kiobuf + bhs cache in the slab rather than in the file
	structure, so it scales also while sharing the same file from two
	different filedescriptors at the same time (like with threads or
	after forks). From Jun Nakajima.
