This is now on ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/alan/2.1. It is relative to
the ac1 patch to keep things easy for folks tracking these changes

It adds

o Missing documentation entry for the NE2K PCI
o Correction to AWE32 documentation
o Moved the Multisound note to the right Documentation dir
o Fixed about 2/3rds of the cases where utsname is used unlocked. The one
hard one left is in the NFS code. I need to check a routine is not
called from interrupt handlers before I can fix it. There is also a
scary deadlock problem [Bill help ;)]
o BTTV driver now does 32bit again. The 15bit mode fix broke 32bit
o BTTV knows about the Matrox Millenium II itself
o Merged the parport fix to stop unloads while within /proc/parport
o Steven Hirsches patches for the Daystar L200 card updated
o Merged Thomas Sailers non OSS drivers for the Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370
Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI 97, S3 Sonic Vibes. These are for now
experimental and will emit debugging messages
o Reserved line discipline and protocol number for the IP over Mobitex
driver
o Bill Hawes mmap locks patch
o Decnet pointer in device structures for linux decnet project
o NetROM crash fix for Oops caused by routing netlink bug
o Added Ingo's suggested time functions to linux/timer.h, there is now
a time_before(a,b) and time_after(a,b) that understands jiffies wrapping.
Please use them. Note this doesn't break old code that does it right by
hand.
o Network code profiler isnt by default configurable or panic on no TSC
o SO_SNDBUF/SO_RCVBUF behave more like BSD, they are hints and don't error
on failure. (You can getsockopt them back to see what value you ended up
with)

Now to go start on ac3.
