Hi all...
Just some updates and a ton of bugfixes collected. At least it did not
blow up on my face.
Updates:
- pre6-aa0: this is not really a -aa, but pre5-aa2 rediffed.
- task_cpu, sched misc updates
- bproc 3.2
Enjoy at:
http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.20-pre6-jam1.tar.gz
Perhaps some of the fixes (everything named 1X-xxxxx) are worthy and non
intrusive for next pre. Marcelo, would you mind taking a look at those ?
