Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-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!

+February 2003             Kernel Parameters                     v2.5.59
+                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as implemented
+(mostly) by the __setup() macro and sorted into English Dictionary order
+(defined as ignoring all punctuation and sorting digits before letters in a
+case insensitive manner), and with descriptions where known.
+
+Module parameters for loadable modules are specified only as the
+parameter name with optional '=' and value as appropriate, such as:
+
+	modprobe usbcore blinkenlights=1
+
+Module parameters for modules that are built into the kernel image
+are specified on the kernel command line with the module name plus
+'.' plus parameter name, with '=' and value if appropriate, such as:
+
+	usbcore.blinkenlights=1
+
+The text in square brackets at the beginning of the description state the
+restrictions on the kernel for the said kernel parameter to be valid. The
+restrictions referred to are that the relevant option is valid if:
+
+	ACPI	ACPI support is enabled.
+	ALSA	ALSA sound support is enabled.
+	APIC	APIC support is enabled.
+	APM	Advanced Power Management support is enabled.
+	AX25	Appropriate AX.25 support is enabled.
+	CD	Appropriate CD support is enabled.
+	DEVFS	devfs support is enabled. 
+	DRM	Direct Rendering Management support is enabled. 
+	EDD	BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is enabled
+	EFI	EFI Partitioning (GPT) is enabled
+	EIDE	EIDE/ATAPI support is enabled.
+	FB	The frame buffer device is enabled.

+	JOY	Appropriate joystick support is enabled.
+	LP	Printer support is enabled.
+	LOOP	Loopback device support is enabled.
+	M68k	M68k architecture is enabled.
+			These options have more detailed description inside of
+			Documentation/m68k/kernel-options.txt.
+	MCA	MCA bus support is enabled.
+	MDA	MDA console support is enabled.
+	MOUSE	Appropriate mouse support is enabled.
+	MTD	MTD support is enabled.

+	PARIDE	The ParIDE subsystem is enabled.
+	PARISC	The PA-RISC architecture is enabled.
+	PCI	PCI bus support is enabled.
+	PCMCIA	The PCMCIA subsystem is enabled.
+	PNP	Plug & Play support is enabled.
+	PPC	PowerPC architecture is enabled.
+	PPT	Parallel port support is enabled.
+	PS2	Appropriate PS/2 support is enabled.
+	RAM	RAM disk support is enabled.
+	S390	S390 architecture is enabled.
+	SCSI	Appropriate SCSI support is enabled.
+			A lot of drivers has their options described inside of
+			Documentation/scsi/.
+	SELINUX SELinux support is enabled.
+	SERIAL	Serial support is enabled.
+	SMP	The kernel is an SMP kernel.
+	SPARC	Sparc architecture is enabled.
+	SWSUSP	Software suspension is enabled.
+	TS	Appropriate touchscreen support is enabled.
+	USB	USB support is enabled.
+	USBHID	USB Human Interface Device support is enabled.

+	VT	Virtual terminal support is enabled.
+	WDT	Watchdog support is enabled.
+	XT	IBM PC/XT MFM hard disk support is enabled.
+	X86-64	X86-64 architecture is enabled.
+			More X86-64 boot options can be found in
+			Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt .
+
+In addition, the following text indicates that the option:
+
+	BUGS=	Relates to possible processor bugs on the said processor.
+	KNL	Is a kernel start-up parameter.
+	BOOT	Is a boot loader parameter.
+
+Parameters denoted with BOOT are actually interpreted by the boot
+loader, and have no meaning to the kernel directly.
+Do not modify the syntax of boot loader parameters without extreme
+need or coordination with <Documentation/i386/boot.txt>.
+
+Note that ALL kernel parameters listed below are CASE SENSITIVE, and that
+a trailing = on the name of any parameter states that that parameter will
+be entered as an environment variable, whereas its absence indicates that
+it will appear as a kernel argument readable via /proc/cmdline by programs
+running once the system is up.

+			<cpu number> begins at 0 and the maximum value is

+			This option is the preferred way to isolate CPUs. The

+				specified in addition to the ports) causes
+				attached printers to be reset. Using
+				lp=port1,port2,... specifies the parallel ports
+				to associate lp devices with, starting with
+				lp0. A port specification may be 'none' to skip
+				that lp device, or a parport name such as
+				'parport0'. Specifying 'lp=auto' instead of a
+				port specification list means that device IDs
+				from each port should be examined, to see if

+			which is likely to cause problems if your CPUs need
+			significantly divergent settings. An incorrect value
+			will cause delays in the kernel to be wrong, leading to
+			unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although

+					has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
+		nobios			[IA-32] disallow use of PCI BIOS, only direct

+					if you experience crashes upon bootup and you
+					suspect they are caused by the BIOS.
+		conf1			[IA-32] Force use of PCI Configuration Mechanism 1.
+		conf2			[IA-32] Force use of PCI Configuration Mechanism 2.
+		nosort			[IA-32] Don't sort PCI devices according to
+					order given by the PCI BIOS. This sorting is done
+					to get a device order compatible with older kernels.
+		biosirq			[IA-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt
+					routing table. These calls are known to be buggy
+					on several machines and they hang the machine when used,
+					but on other computers it's the only way to get the
+					interrupt routing table. Try this option if the kernel
+					is unable to allocate IRQs or discover secondary PCI
+					buses on your motherboard.
+		rom			[IA-32] Assign address space to expansion ROMs.
+					Use with caution as certain devices share address
+					decoders between ROMs and other resources.
+		irqmask=0xMMMM		[IA-32] Set a bit mask of IRQs allowed to be assigned
+					automatically to PCI devices. You can make the kernel
+					exclude IRQs of your ISA cards this way.
+		lastbus=N		[IA-32] Scan all buses till bus #N. Can be useful
+					if the kernel is unable to find your secondary buses
+					and you want to tell it explicitly which ones they are.
+		assign-busses		[IA-32] Always assign all PCI bus
+					numbers ourselves, overriding
+					whatever the firmware may have
+					done.
+		usepirqmask		[IA-32] Honor the possible IRQ mask
+					stored in the BIOS $PIR table. This is
+					needed on some systems with broken
+					BIOSes, notably some HP Pavilion N5400
+					and Omnibook XE3 notebooks. This will
+					have no effect if ACPI IRQ routing is
+					enabled.
+		noacpi			[IA-32] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
+					or for PCI scanning.
+		routeirq		Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices.
+					This is normally done in pci_enable_device(),
+					so this option is a temporary workaround
+					for broken drivers that don't call it.
+
+		firmware		[ARM] Do not re-enumerate the bus but
+					instead just use the configuration
+					from the bootloader. This is currently
+					used on IXP2000 systems where the
+					bus has to be configured a certain way
+					for adjunct CPUs.
