Some more things needed for 2.5
Things I'm working on:
Finish cleaning up the fbdev layer with a new api
Incorporate Vojtechs input layer.
Add real multihead support to the console system.
Other nice things to add that I'm not involved with (yet):
Replace the cache of filenames in the VFS with a B+ tree algorithm.
Add support to allocate very large chunks of continous memory after boot time.
P.S
The SGI Visual workstation code didn't compile for 2.3.99pre-9. Haven't
tried it for 2.4.0-test1 yet. Anyone working on Visual Workstations
anymore ?
Q: Why did they deprecate a.out support in linux?
A: Because a nasty coff is bad for your elf.
