In 2.1.xx add a comma to make the logging level a real parameter.

Yes!

You only get 5 warnings now. Live with it or upgrade.

We could mark code as init and swappable. Someone did a patch for
this but said the patch gets old very fast.

Can we feed this and the keyboard into something like Xqueue?

Unfortunatly it _must_ be. Apps that hit the hardware directly
belong in the DOS world. At least X doen't have disk services
and all the other Win 3.11 braindamage, but it does take over
the video hardware and put the keyboard into raw mode.

I've met too many people that tried to install the raw kernel because
zImage was buried down in arch/i386/boot. I'd like a symlink at least,
or even just move it into the top directory. It also needs a better
name, like 1-3-97.lki. Note that /boot may be a link to a partition
under the 1024 cylindar BIOS limit, and we all know what filesystem
that could be... stick to the 8.3 limit for boot files.
