Marc Louis P. Santiago, James Salinas, and John Haggerty
Change ramdisk_size to 96M from 64M
correct some spelling errors in files
Added 3 more firmwares for the bnx2x device as another user
was having issues with kernel not having it. Only in bz3x8.11
kernel for now.
kernel 3.9.1 2013/05/08 (bz3x9.1)
kernel 3.0.77 2013/05/08 (bz3x0.77)

kernel 3.8.12 now default kernel
The above kernels have the following firmware added to that
which the kernel.org source includes do to users having hardware
that needs the additions. The first 3 were just added the other
2 have been added for some time.
./bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.0.23.0.fw

kernel 3.8.13 2013/05/11 (bz3x8.13)
kernel 3.8.13 now default kernel
The bz3x8.13 kernel has the complete bnx2x firmware files
that increase the kernel size by about 4M. Looking to make
firmware in filesystem once instead of building in each kernel.
Added echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug to rcS init script
kernel 3.2.45 2013/05/15 (bz3x2.45)
Have rebuilt the 3.0.x, 3.2.x, 3.4.x, 3.8.x and 3.9.x kernels to have
the kernel.org firmware only, but have added all the bnx2x and bnx2 firmware
that is in the linux-firmware download. In the tests that I have done by a
user with bnx2x firmware, the earlier changes work.
If anyone knows of other firmware from the linux-git that should be added,
I can look into it. May have to increase the image size of the ramdisk.
Increased ramdisk size to 128M and have added all the linux-firmware files.
Cleanup kernels. Remove 3.1, 3.3, 3.5 and 3.6, which are not being updated.
Change default to 3.9.2
kernel 3.10-rc1 2013/05/12 (bz3x10.rc1)
Test in changing development kit to be compressed with xz instead of gz
updated testdisk-6.14-WIP as of 2013/05/08
