SubjectLinux-2.1.126...

There's a new kernel out there. 2.1.126 does:
- architecture updates for alpha and MIPS (and some minor PPC updates
too)
- joystick updates
- MCA stuff from Alan. The guy has too much free time on his hands.
- stallion driver cosmetic update
- nasty SMP race with "task queues" (not the scheduling kind), where we
were mixing atomic metaphores, resulting in a mess. Usually a benign
one, but occasionally you could force oopses.
- some floppy and ide updates
- PS/2 mouse driver integrated into the PC keyboard controller. That got
rid of a lot of really nasty problems (it's the same controller,
accessing it from two different drivers was always messy)
- various driver updates: floppy, ide, network drivers, sound, video..
- various small FS fixes - finally _really_ getting the ENOENT vs ENOTDIR
stuff right, nfsd updates, remounting fixes, filesize limits on NFS
and smbfs, ntfs and ufs updates...
- shm updates from Alan
- cleanup of some MM stuff, I hope Andrea will re-do the patches and I'll
look at the other parts.
- unix fd garbage collection fix, getting rid of circular dependencies..

And probably various other small fixes that I have thankfully forgotten
about.
