Linux 2.4.20-pre8-ac1
- Merge with 2.4.20-pre8
- Drop assorted noise differences with Marcelo tree
- Drop speakup
|Its now very clear the user space solution is both
|cleaner, and handles newer hardware like USB which
|can't be handled other ways
- Drop ls220 dvd driver work for now
|Until someone picks it up and finishes it
- Drop margi pcmcia driver
|Until it gets a major cleanup
- Drop 32 v 8 group cache in ext2/ext3
| AKPM rightly IMHO claims this should be handled by
| buffer cache usage times instead.
