Only in 2.4.8pre3aa1: 00_gcc-30-aironet-1

	Merged in mainline.

Only in 2.4.8pre3aa1: 00_gcc-30-extern-static-2
Only in 2.4.8pre5aa1: 00_gcc-30-extern-static-3

	Part of it merged in mainline so rediffed the rest.

	ia64 is in sync in mainline.

Only in 2.4.8pre3aa1: 00_lvm-0.9.1_beta7-5.bz2
Only in 2.4.8pre3aa1: 00_lvm-0.9.1_beta7-5_rwsem-fast-path-2
Only in 2.4.8pre5aa1: 00_lvm-0.9.1_beta7-6.bz2
Only in 2.4.8pre5aa1: 00_lvm-0.9.1_beta7-6_rwsem-fast-path-2

Only in 2.4.8pre3aa1: 00_o_direct-11
Only in 2.4.8pre5aa1: 00_o_direct-12

	Microoptimization, more a code-beauty cleanup (noticed by Anton
	Altaparmakov).

Only in 2.4.8pre3aa1: 00_rwsem-16
Only in 2.4.8pre5aa1: 00_rwsem-17

	Rediffed (didn't had time to check the asm version yet, after all it is
	going to make a so small global performance difference in any real
	benchmark).

Only in 2.4.8pre5aa1: 40_blkdev-pagecache-10
Only in 2.4.8pre3aa1: 40_blkdev-pagecache-8

	Reduced granularity to 1k and be pedantic about the last bytes of the
	blkdev, plus added further compatibility cruft so it can be used
	without surprises in 2.4 (to make an example O_APPEND was ignored by
	the buffer cache backed code and there are just application that get
	confused by O_APPEND being honoured by the pagecache common code in
	generic_file_write...).

Only in 2.4.8pre3aa1: 50_uml-2.4.7-1.bz2
Only in 2.4.8pre5aa1: 50_uml-2.4.7-3.bz2
