H. Peter Anvin c3887cd725 [x86 setup] Document grub < 0.93 as broken
Grub older than 0.93 are broken when the kernel setup is bigger than
8K.  This was fixed in 2002, and 0.93 was the first grub version which
fixed this bug.

Jan Engelhardt 03a67a46af Fix typos in doc and comments
Changes persistant -> persistent. www.dictionary.com does not know
persistant (with an A), but should it be one of those things you can
spell in more than one correct way, let me know.

Greg Kroah-Hartman ad7e14a55e [PATCH] update required version of udev
The 071 release is needed to handle the input changes.  Older versions
will work properly with module-based systems, but not for users that
build input stuff into the kernel.

Dominik Brodowski 5085cb2650 [PATCH] pcmcia: add some Documentation
Add some information useful for PCMCIA device driver authors to
Documentation/pcmcia/, and reference it in dmesg in case of hash mismatches.

Also add a reference to pcmciautils to Documentation/Changes.  With recent
changes, you don't need to concern yourself with pcmcia-cs even if you have
PCMCIA hardware, so the example above the list needed to be adapted as well.

John Levon 0c0a400d1d [PATCH] oprofile: report anonymous region samples
The below patch passes samples from anonymous regions to userspace instead
of just dropping them.  This provides the support needed for reporting
anonymous-region code samples (today: basic accumulated results; later:
Java and other dynamically compiled code).

As this changes the format, an upgrade to the just-released 0.9 release of
the userspace tools is required.

This patch is based upon an earlier one by Will Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com>

Martin Waitz 8b0c2d989c [PATCH] DocBook: Use xmlto to process the DocBook files.
xmlto uses standared XSLT templates to generate manpages, (x)html pages, and
XML FO files which can be processed with passivetex.  This is much faster than
using jadetex for everything.  This patch also reduces the number of
kernel-specific scripts that are needed to generate documentation.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
