this patch (against 2.5.47) updates Documentation/magic-number.txt to the
current state of kernel. It was pretty abadonded in the last few years, so I
did my best, but it's possible (given the charge and intensity of the magical
field covering the whole kernel) that I still missed some of the magic numbers
- so, if you will notice your favourite magic number missing there, please
speak up.
Also, since some of the subsystems introduce fairly large amount of magic
numbers, I placed simply references to the header files where the magic numbers
are defined to the end of the file. I also made few tidyups (removal of tabs
and reordering of few misplaced magics).
I hope the patch is ok, there should be no problems with it. Please apply.

Note that this is the second submission of the patch - I took the opportunity
and updated the patch from 2.5.45 to 2.5.47.
Kind regards,

+Updated the magic table to Linux 2.5.47. Right over the feature freeze,
+but it is possible that some new magic numbers will sneak into the
+kernel before 2.6.x yet.

+Note that there are also defined special per-driver magic numbers in sound

+OSS sound drivers have their magic numbers constructed from the soundcard PCI
+ID - these are not listed here as well.
+
+IrDA subsystem also uses large number of own magic numbers, see
+include/net/irda/irda.h for a complete list of them.
+
+HFS is another larger user of magic numbers - you can find them in
+fs/hfs/hfs.h.
