  • When having built-in IrDA, we hit the following error:

    `irda_sysctl_unregister' referenced in section `.init.text' of
    net/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of
    net/built-in.o

    make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
    make: *** [_all] Error 2

    This is due to the irda_init fix recently added, where we call __exit
    routines from an __init one. It is a build failure that I didn't catch
    because it doesn't show up when building IrDA as a module. My apologies
    for that.
    The following patch fixes that failure and is against your net-2.6
    tree. I hope it can make it to the merge window, and stable@kernel.org
    is CCed on this mail.

  • The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
    sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
    pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

    I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
    register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
    duplicate sysctl entries.

    So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
    the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
    enhancments harder.

  • 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!
