Linux 2.4.23-pre7

Linux 2.4.23-pre7

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Hi,

Here goes -pre7... 

It adds the laptop "mode" functionality already present in recent SuSE/RH
kernels, adds the megaraid2 (improved, faster, but not so extensively
tested as the old megaraid) driver, adds BIOS EDD (enhanced disk
detection) support, contains a USB update, network update, amongst other
fixes.

I hope we enter -rc stage in more or less one month.

The attached patch converts all printk(__FUNCTION__); to

gcc34 doesnt accept the current code anymore, irda doesnt compile.

please apply.

Yes, it looks fine.  Thanks for your patch!  Marcelo, please apply
this patch, even not only for nsp_cs (as you patched) but also for
nsp32.

They both drive the same hardware, so this isn't such a good idea.  One or
the other, but not both please, at least not built-in.  Both as modules
should be fine, you'll only ever load one. It's not surprising that a few
functions are named the same between both.

Thanks,
Matt
