Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

[PATCH] revert fs/char_dev.c CONFIG_BASE_FULL change This reverts a fs/char_dev.c patch that was merged into BK on March 3. The problem is that it breaks things ... __register_chrdev_region() has a block of code, commented "temporary" for over two years now, which fails rudely during PCMCIA initialization or other register_chrdev() calls, because it doesn't "degrade to linked list". This keeps whole subsystems from working. A real fix to that "temporary" code should be possible, using some better scheme to allocate major numbers, but it's not something I want to spend time on just now.

[PATCH] convert /proc/devices to use seq_file interface A Christoph suggested that the /proc/devices file be converted to use the seq_file interface. This patch does that. I've obxerved one or two installation that had sufficiently large sans that they overran the 4k limit on /proc/devices.

[PATCH] cdev: cdev_put oops While fixing an oops in the st driver in a dirty release path, I encountered an oops in cdev_put for cdevs allocated using cdev_alloc. If cdev_del is called when the cdev kobject still has an open user, when the last cdev_put is called, the cdev_put will call kobject_put, which will end up ultimately releasing the cdev in cdev_dynamic_release. Patch fixes the oops by preventing cdev_put from accessing freed memory.
