Don't waste your time with searching archives ;) Take the attached ones.

Explaination:

01. export 'proc_get_inode' symbol b/c it's unresolved in
    drivers/net/wan/comx.o

	Patch by: Andrea Arcangeli

02. export 'panic_notifier_list, panic_timeout' b/c it's unresolved in
    ipmi_msghandler.o and ipmi_watchdog.o

	Patch by: me

03. If a process cannot exit because it's stuck in eg. a driver, it
    doesn't make sense to have the OOM killer kill it repeatedly;
    that could lead to a hung system.

    Instead, kill another process if the first process we tried to
    kill hasn't made any move to exit within 5 seconds.  This way
    we have a much better chance of recovering the system.

    I can ack that this fixes the silly behaviour of the oom killer if the
    patch is _not_ applied. _With_ the patch, it works great.
