[Jan-Benedict G. <jb...@us...>]

Update of /cvsroot/linux-vax/kernel-2.5/Documentation/vax
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv18417

Added Files:
	keep_an_eye_on.txt 
Log Message:
- This file contains little tasks that are not (yet) really important,
  but _may_ need fixing at some time. Most of this stuff should be
  pretty obvious to do, so it's potentially items for VAX starters :)


--- NEW FILE: keep_an_eye_on.txt ---
This file contains various items that are about to change in any of the
important upstream kernel trees. Whenever you see patches flying around
on LKML that do have impact for the VAX tree (ie. new Kconfig entries,
function deprecation, ...) please add a note here so that in can be
revised later on.

- Mar 4, 2005, "[PATCH][0/10] verify_area cleanup"
  Check if we're using verify_area() anywhere and change it over to
  access_ok():
  -       if (verify_area(VERIFY_WRITE, buf, count))
  +       if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, buf, count))

- Mar 7, 2005: "[0/many] Acrypto - asynchronous crypto layer for linux kernel 2.6"
  If the asynchronous crypto stuff is accepted, don't forget to add
  'source "acrypto/Kconfig"' into ./arch/vax/Kconfig, somewhere between
  crypto/Kconfig and lib/Kconfig.

- Mar 7, 2005: "[bk, patches] Input update"
  Vojtech Pavlik prepared a patchset that shifts over all Input API drivers
  to something like the struct driver thing. lkkbd.c and vsxxxaa.c may need
  checking.
