Diff between 2.4.6pre3aa1 and 2.4.6pre3aa2:
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_alpha-numa-initrd-1
Release initrd memory from right numa node.
(recommended)
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_alpha-srm-2.4.6-pre1-1
Access the srm variables via /proc/srm_environment. Patch posted to l-k by Jan-Benedict Glaw <jbglaw@lug-owl.de>.
(nice to have)
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_initrd-release-blkdev-1
Remeber to release the opened blkdev after initrd load.
(recommended)

softirq updates for ppc and ia64.
(recommended)
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_locks-1
Fix from ac16 (avoid corrupting the lock_depth).
(recommended)
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_max-threads-1
Each task is going to take more than 2 pages. There's also the pid limit and the per-user limit but turning the default down is good idea. Fix from Rik from ac16.
(recommended)
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 00_swapinfo-1
Only show deviecs when then swap_map is been allocated to avoid oops during swapon. Fix from Paul Menage <pmenage@ensim.com>.
(nice to have)
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa1/30_tux: 30_atomic-lookup-3 Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2/30_tux: 30_atomic-lookup-4
Introduce O_ATOMICLOOKUP for ppc equal to 01000000.
Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 40_experimental/40_blkdev-pagecache-3
Optional patch to apply to move the blkdev from buffercache to pagecache. At the moment this breaks the ramdisk and in turn initrd. Read the 40_experimental/README for more details. Like the tux patches this one is not included into the global diff (2.4.6pre3aa2.{gz,bz2}).
