The diff is huge, but that's due to the new ISDN code that normally you don't
even want to bother about (unless you have a supported ISDN card, of course, in
which case you'll definitely care about it).
Also, the MD driver is included in this kernel, so if you want to do striping
etc this is the kernel to get.
Other changes:
- updated sound driver
- SMP update
- NFS cache fixed wrt permission problems
- all filesystems update the vm cache so that mmap is coherent wrt write()
- various minor networking fixes (packet sockets shouldn't hang on bind()
etc)
- TCP double ack fixed
Happy hacking,

PS. NFS caching still has a strange "feature": root can read anything from the
cache, even though root doesn't have permissions to read from the file on the
server. This isn't really a security hole (root could have read /dev/kmem
anyway), but it's a beauty wart. It's not going to get fixed, I'm afraid.
