Let's put my money where my mouth is.  Smaller code is almost always
faster, if only because a single I$ miss ends up leaving a lot of cycles
to make up for.  And system software - kernels in particular - are known
for taking more cache misses than most other kinds.

On my random config, this made the kernel about 10% smaller, and lmbench
seems to say that it's pretty uniformly faster too. Your milage may vary.

KOBJECT_UEVENT=n seems to be a common pitfall for udev users in 2.6.14 .

-mm already contains a bigger patch removing this option that is IMHO
too big for being applied now to 2.6.15-rc.

This patch simply allows KOBJECT_UEVENT=n only if EMBEDDED.

drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move
the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/
related block parts to block/ next.

If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the
current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and
the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string.  This makes it
easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your
older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.

Move initramfs options from Device Drivers | Block Drivers to General Setup
This is a more natural place for this option.

Furthermore separate out intramfs options to usr/Kconfig

Actually, the real support was added by some earlier patches.  Now we simply
re-enable the config.  option.  I've actually tested it and it works well.

This patch is for -mm only.  It should probably be included in git-audit,
and should be forwarded to Linus iff git-audit is.

It updates the audit-syscall-{entry,exit} calls to current -mm.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
