2.2.0-pre2 -- Ooops, other errata

make xconfig is still broken on Intel. This part of the patch (to
arch/i386/config.in) causes `make xconfig' to print `Ooops' instead of
generating a useful tk script to run:

+#
+# Define implied options from the CPU selection here
+#
+if [ "$CONFIG_M386" != "n" ]; then
+ define_bool CONFIG_WP_WORKS_OK y
+ define_bool CONFIG_INVLPG y
+ define_bool CONFIG_BSWAP y
+fi

Specifically, it appears to be choking on the "n".

There's a boot-time version number display buglet:
Swansea University Computer Society NET3.039 for Linux 2.1

That should probably be `2.2'.

Make xconfig has two other glitches that were also in 2.2.0-pre1. The
"Mice menu" has some non-mouse options in it -- "Digitizer Pad",
"QIC-O2 tape", "Do you want runtime Configuration for QIC-O2",
"Watchdog Timer". The "Watchdog Cards" menu has some non-watchdog
items in it -- "/dev/nvram support", "Enhanced RT clock", and "Tadpole
ANA H8 Support".

Lastly, since 2.1.132 my AWE 64 Gold card is being identified as
`EMU8000' instead of `AWE32'. It still appears to work, so maybe this
is only a cosmetic change.
