Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 9999_sched_yield_scale-5

	Rediffed.

Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_copy-namespace-1

	Fix copy-namespace.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 00_cpufreq-1

	Dropped (would better go in mainline than in -aa, I already	
	tried it and it doesn't do what I need, and now it's rejecting
	in multiple ways).

Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_crc-makefile-clean-1

	Remeber to delete the autogenerated files to generate
	clean diffs.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 00_cs46xx-u32-1
Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 00_floppy-smp-race-and-queuesize-1

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 30_15-xprt_fixes-1
Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 70_quota-backport-3
Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 9999901_O_DIRECT-1

	Merged in mainline.

Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_elevator-lowlatency-1

	Reduced the number of requests during seeks (the latency times
	increased slightly during seeks with pre5/pre6).

Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_elevator-read-reservation-axboe-2l-1

	Incremental patch from Jens, that reserved some spare
	request for reads. This is been measured to avoid some
	waiting for reads and it's beneficial in the common case.

Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_fdatasync-cleanup-1

	Avoid a compile time warning.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 00_ksoftirqd-max-loop-networking-1
Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_ksoftirqd-max-loop-networking-2

	Merged a fix from Philip Craig to be sure to make
	the anti-DoS logic effective. He wrote and verified
	the code. It makes perfect sense so it's applied.
	Normal usages shouldn't notice the difference, especially with the
	max-loop logic.

Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_parport-multi-io-pci-1

	Multi-io cards depends on config-pci, from
	Matthew Bell.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 00_radeon-3

	This started to reject and the mainline code seems
	slightly different now. Should be rechecked later.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 00_sched-O1-aa-2.4.19rc3-12.gz
Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_sched-O1-aa-2.4.19rc3-14.gz

	Avoid losing an half timeslice of in signal delivery delay
	if the signal was sent while the task was under weakup. Fix
	from Ingo Molnar.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 00_semop-timeout-2
Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_semop-timeout-3

	Most of it merged in mainline, except the ia64 entry
	in the syscall table. Interestingly the syscall
	now allocated for ia64 is different than the one in 21rc8aa1.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 00_smp-timers-not-deadlocking-3
Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 00_smp-timers-not-deadlocking-5

	Merged an anti deadlock fix from lcm, 2.5 probably needs it too. In
	short the theory that mod_timer is the only thing that can run in
	parallel was wrong, add_timer and del_timer/del_timer_sync can too.
	Having already fixed mod_timer in a backwards compatible way before
	merging the smp-timers in -aa, made it easy to fix those further
	windows too.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 00_usb_get_string-len-1

	Dropped, was the wrong fix and it could break stuff.

Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 05_vm_25_try_to_free_buffers-invariant-1

	Minor cleanup from Daniele Bellucci.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 10_o_direct-open-check-3
Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 10_o_direct-open-check-4

	Updated to handle the double API.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 10_try-cciss-only-4G-1

	Dropped, new code in mainline.

Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 21_ppc64-aa-2

	Was used to fix ppc64 around pre3, but pre3-pre6 may have
	broke stuff again, I didn't check.

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 84_x86-64-arch-3
Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 85_x86-64-includes-2

Only in 2.4.21rc8aa1: 93_NUMAQ-10
Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 93_NUMAQ-13

Only in 2.4.22pre6aa1: 9910_shm-largepage-16.gz

	Thanks to Hugh for the help in porting the bigpages
