FYI --
2.3.48 doesn't build on my sx164. There's a problem in the irq
code.
I could hack it into working. But I'd rather fix it 'right' so I
don't have to keep hacking at it... and since I don't know the direction
the kernel development is going, I don't know what constitues 'right'. And
I don't have time to keep up with it or make it work.
But looking at the code, I doubt 2.3.48 builds on anything other
than an x86. Someday perhaps I'll try it on my ppc, but that's for a later
time (prolly when I don't think I'll be wasting my time).
The hack is to add the following to arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c:
irq_cpustat_t irq_stat [NR_CPUS];
The 'proper' way is to modify asm-alpha/{hardirq.h,hw_irq.h} and
arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c to match the new generic-linux irq design.
I can pretty much guarantee this won't build on any alpha with SMP
enabled. Mine does not have SMP enabled.
Done blathering for now.

PS: Blake, I lost your message and email address, which is why I haven't
responded. (though lack of time certainly played its part... ;-)
