Linux 2.4.25-pre5
From: Marcelo Tosatti

Hi,
Here is -pre5.
This version fixes the "memory filled with unfreeable inodes" problem
which occurs on high memory machines in some workloads. That is the last
big problem 2.4 VM had with highmem I believe.
It contains a few other important fixes:
- fixes a SMP deadlock introduced during 2.4.23 (which could hang the
machine on high filesystem activity).
- fixes a memory allocation deadlock in USB
Amongst others.
Please test it!
Detailed changelog follows
