Full Changelog

Hi,

Here goes -pre number 7 of 2.4.25 series.

It contains a bunch of architecture-specific updates (ia64, ppc,
mips), JFS and XFS updates, bugfix for big (>128GB) FAT
filesystem corruption, amongst others.

About 2.4 freeze:

The planned freeze during 2.4.26 can happen only for 2.4.27.

There are a few bad problems I’m aware of which still need to be
fixed (aic7xxx needs to be updated, modular IDE has some problems,
etc). Those should get fixed during 2.4.26-pre.

Please help testing! 🙂
