CVS users, OTOH...

Diff to previous 1.1: preferred, colored
Changes since revision 1.1: +1 -0 lines
import Geert's 2.4.12 m68k patch

and the same for drivers/macintosh part.

So who should I put as the author? You or Geert (or whatever attributions
might have been in said big patch)? Incidentally, ADBREQ_RAW had leaked
into mainline (sans definition) in 2.3.45-pre2, which was Feb 13 2000, i.e.
more than 1.5 year before your commit, so there's quite a chunk of history
missing...

I'm serious, BTW - I certainly would have no problem preserving attribution,
but it simply hadn't been there. CVS logs are only as good as the data
being put there by committers...
