   Notes:
     * Several people have requested the discussion be linked to LKML
archives. With this version I've switched from
       locally edited discussion threads to archived links.
     * Great progress has been made in forward porting IDE driver code
from 2.4 to 2.5. Several people have tried 2.5.33
       without disaster. Updates continue to be added to the -ac kernels
and the 2.5 bitkeeper kernels.
     * Floppy support appears to have been fixed in 2.5.33-bitkeeper. It
has been tested, and the corruption previously
       seen has not been duplicated.
     * Support for __FUNCTION__ pasting is being phased out of gcc. This
has broken compiling in numerous places. Defines
       of the form:
       #define func_enter() sx_dprintk (SX_DEBUG_FLOW, "sx: enter "
__FUNCTION__ "\n")
       need to be changed to the form:
       #define func_enter() sx_dprintk (SX_DEBUG_FLOW, "sx: enter %s\n",
__FUNCTION__)
