    Move <xxx.h> to <linux/xxxx.h>
    
    Variable-sized buffer blocks and dynamic buffer cache allocation. The VM
    knows how to shrink it automatically!
    
    Add support for "fast" interrupt handlers for serial lines.
    
    Update copyrights to say 1992 too.
    
    Remove broken VESA video card handling.

    Make init unkillable.
    
    Norwegian keyboard map.

     - The VESA-support was removed.  I'd be happy to put it back once it
       works on all hardware.  Instead of the VESA-code, I finally put in
       the automatic SVGA setup patches.  See the top-level Makefile.
    
     - The IRQ code has solidified, and should work on all machines.  Not
       all of the SCSI drivers use it yet, so I expect patches for that..
    
     - Serial interrupts are handled slightly differently, and performance
       should be up.  I've sent out a few alpha-releases, and testing seems
