This is basically 2.1.124ac2 + linux 2.1.125 + minor patches hoovered up off
the lists and some cleanups. There's another pile in the in queue still
including the sound stuff and the fixes to the bttv capture crashes.

A lot of these have already gone to Linus and probably some of those I've
not sent their maintainers have. The "ac" patch is down to about 150K
compressed now.

Differences between 2.1.125ac1 and 2.1.125

o Current sound code including OPL3SA2 test code
o Updated sysctl documentation
o Faster time handling, microsecond precision time is now also availble
on Cyrix, Winchip and K5/K6 CPU's and with APM enabled.
o DMA spinlocks in drivers
o Cyrix detection code update
o 2.0.36 floppy fix port
o Over 16 SCSI disks are supported
o SYS5 shared memory extended further. You can now have >256Mb shm
segments if so bizarrely inclined.
o Loop driver add on modules work nicely.
o Z85230 driver supports DMA properly (ish :))
o Nathan Laredo's bttv updates
o Bw-qcam probe improvement
o Misc cleanups of copy_*_user returning EFAULT and removing verify
stuff that isnt needed
o Hooks for the "planb" powermac video
o Don Becker's current epic100, realtek 8139, yellowfin driver
o Mika Kuoppala's eth16i update
o Warnings fixed in sdla_x25
o SyncPPP bugfixes
o AHA152x unload fixes
o NFS fifo handling
o UMSDOS compile fix
o Uses the split AVL tree/linear vm_area handling. This means things
like electric fence are usable, and also improves 386 performance.
o Fixes to 2.1.124ac2 bugs (Alpha compile error for DMA, scsi as
module)
o NetROM protocol update
