  • By turning off the new CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS option and dropping the
    associated code and tables from the kernel, we can save about 7KiB.

  • There have been issues with non-latin1 diacritics and unicode.
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7746

    Git 759448f459234bfcf34b82471f0dba77a9aca498 `Kernel utf-8 handling'
    partly resolved it by adding conversion between diacritics and
    unicode. The patch below goes further by just turning diacritics into
    unicode, hence providing better future support. The kbd support can be
    fetched from
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=12313

    This was tested in all of latin1, latin9, latin2 and unicode with french
    and czech dead keys.

    Turn the kernel accent_table into unicode, and extend ioctls KDGKBDIACR
    and KDSKBDIACR into their equivalents KDGKBDIACRUC and KDSKBDIACR.

    New function int conv_uni_to_8bit(u32 uni) for converting unicode into 8bit
    _input_. No, we don't want to store the translation, as it is potentially
    sparse and large.

  • 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!
