[ANNOUNCE] Synced with 2.4.6

[James S. <jsi...@tr...>]

I just finished the finally syncing with Linus 2.4.6 tree and Russell
kings 2.4.6-rmk1 tree. I tested both and they work :-) The tree also
should work with the latest PPC tree thanks to Frank Sirl.

Well, not quite. First I still have some minor stuff to let it compile 
successfully, second, I cannot test it, cause neither aty128fb.c nor offb.c 
have been converted to the new console code yet. But I don't expect serious 
problems in the input drivers, as most parts of the code are already in 2.4. 
What may need work is the PS2 support on PREP and CHRP based machines, but 
this is no big deal either.

I have a partial offb.c driver ported over. The problem is I haven't
written a generic software image drawer for teh font stuff. The current
one is broken :-( I will start working on tonight. We really need it.
As for the ATI 128 driver. Well since we removed the console lock we can 
use the CCE engine of the card :-) Basically the driver will be rewritten
from scratch. The only thing their is I will have to move the agpo code
into video or something to ensure agp is initialized first.

Same with the mips platform. Minior tweaks mainly to deal with io region
space and what the irq number is. I know on mips it various alot.

I just tagged the tree with tag "two-four-six". I hope no file commited
since your announce broke the compatibility.

Nope. Their where some changes for the serial core stuff. In fact their is
a bug in serial_sa1100 I have to fix but you don't need to worry about
that.
