This patch, based on Rusty's implementation, adds a special section
to vmlinux and all modules, which contain the kernel version
string, values of some particularly important config options
(SMP,preempt,proc family) and the gcc version.

When inserting a module, the version string is checked against the
kernel version string and loading is rejected if they don't match.

The version string is actually added to the modules during the
final .ko generation, so that a changed version string does only
cause relinking, not recompilation, which is a major performance
improvement over the old 2.4 way of doing things.

definition of BUG().

In the new (more logical) world order, that should be <asm/bug.h>

This patch is the first in a series that groups the common
m68knommu entry.S code into a common entry.S file (this is
instead of having several similar files in lower sub-architecture
directories). The whole idea is to reduce code duplication.

into home.transmeta.com:/home/torvalds/v2.5/linux

into raven.il.steeleye.com:/home/jejb/BK/dma-alloc-flags-2.5

This prevents the linker from merging the .gnu.linkonce.this_module section
into the .text section, which is necessary for modules to load correctly.

Fixes compile but card doesn't get detected, perhaps the id list?

Clustered APIC setup patch.  Needed to support generic systems with more
than 8 CPUs.

Motivation:

 The current APIC destination mode ("Flat Logical") used in linux kernel
 has an upper limit of 8 CPUs.  For more than 8 CPUs, either "Clustered
 Logical" or "Physical" mode has to be used.

 The attached patch adds support such systems by organizing them into
 logical clusters, with each cluster having 4 CPUs.  This is activated by
 a new config option "Support for other sub-arch SMP systems with more
 than 8 CPUs", under Processor feature->Sub architecture.

 The patch is made very simple and isolated, thanks to Martin J.
 Bligh's patchsets, which has moved all APIC related functions into
 sub-arch macros.  Has zero impact on standard systems.

 This patch enables all 16 logical processors on a generic, non-quad
 based, system that we have here.  Also, by looking at SuSE source, I
 have also added a special switch, to specifically support Unisys
 (ES7000).  Just replacing #define SEQUENTIAL_APICID by CLUSTERED_APICID
 in the patch should make it work on ES7000(not tested).

This pulls all of the m68knommu arch linker scripts into a single new
style linker script.  This patch specifically turns
arch/m68knommu/vmlinux.lds.S into a generic linker script that works
with all m68knommu targets.

This patch adds a definition for smp_read_barrier_depends() for the
m68knommu architecture. This is now needed to compile net/ipv4/route.c.

This patch removes the old 2.0.x conditional code from the
mcfserial.h header.

This patch sets a default console baud rate in the 68360 serial
driver instead of just error'ing out if it is not set.

This patch switches to using the _etext linker symbol instead of
__data_rom_start for the ucdimm 68VZ328 platform. I intend to
deprecate the __data_rom_start linker symbol in the future.

This patch switches to using the _etext linker symbol instead of

This patch adds the missing exit code argument to the do_coredump() call
in m68knommu arch signal.c.

  The korg1212 driver has a global variable named 'rc' that pollutes
  the namespace. This makes it static.
