Linux 2.4.20-rc1

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Hi,

Finally, rc1.

Several networking fixes, net drivers fixes, devfs root boot option fixed,
and more.

Please stress test it.

Summary of changes from v2.4.20-pre11 to v2.4.20-rc1
============================================

<[e-mail]>:
  o 3ware driver update

<[e-mail]>:
  o The following patch adds support for ethtool to the ewrk3 driver. It is against 2.5-BK but should apply to any recent 2.5 and 2.4 as well. In addition to adding ethtool support, it also removes the cli/sti fixup attribution from the changelog since that didn't actually go in yet and fixes a small style issue I introduced in the multi-card support patch.
  o This patch adds some locking fixups to the ewrk3 ioctl routine. None of these are critical since the ioctls AFAIK are used only by the EEPROM config utility.
  o Last ewrk3 for now. Updates the changelog to cover previous patches, bumps the revision number, and replaces the horrific EthwrkSignature function with something (slightly) less horrific.

  o PPC32: On CONFIG_ALL_PPC, always have pmac_nvram around, as this cleans up the code nicely in some places and allows the PPC-specific nvram driver to be a module.
