Kernel 2.2.0pre7ac1 released

    From: alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk (Alan Cox)

I've put up 2.2.0pre7ac1 on
    ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/2.2pre/...

Its mostly a standstill patch versus 2.2.0pre6ac1 - just the stuff I didnt
get merged with Linus - but a few small items have been added. ac2 will
follow some time later with the stuff from the pending pile.

o   EEPro100 has byte counters
o   Some shaper bug work - still doesnt work in 2.2.0pre

o   Problems with certain numbers of disks fixed
o   PAS2 and SB sound fixes
o   Swap/page size header stuff handled right
o   NFS client knows about BSD style FIFO rule
o   Memory locking fixes for /proc
