Diff between 2.4.20pre11aa1 and 2.4.20rc1aa1:

Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 00_elevator-backmerge-1

        Allow merging at the end when latency is zero.

Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 00_extraversion-11
Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 00_extraversion-12

        Rediffed.

Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 00_module-locking-fix-1
Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 00_module-locking-fix-2

        Readd the BKL too, to serialize against module callbacks
        (thanks to Andrew for noticing).

Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 00_reduce-module-races-1
Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 20_reduce-module-races-1

        Rename.

Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 08_qlogicfc-template-aa-4
Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 08_qlogicfc-template-aa-5

        Fix qlogic compilation.

Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 20_sched-o1-fixes-5
Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 20_sched-o1-fixes-8

        Further o1 sched fixes and improvements (on all the benchmarks).

Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 9900_aio-12.gz
Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9900_aio-13.gz

        Further fixes, now fully functional with fs and rawio.
        More optimizations coming soon.

Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 9910_shm-largepage-5.gz
Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9910_shm-largepage-6.gz

        Fixed, apparently ipc shm just couldn't use largepages at all in the
        original version (VM_BIGPAGE would never be set in the vma so it was
        only a fake that forbidden the vm to touch the SGA possibly showing
        improvements with bad VM algorithms, equivalent to mlock/SHM_LOCK), now
        ipcshm will use real large tlb entries too if the alignment/size
        suggested by userspace is correct (same as in shmfs).

Only in 2.4.20pre11aa1: 9920_kgdb-3.gz
Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9920_kgdb-4.gz

        Allow only the admin to invoke kgdb (noticed by Andrew).

Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9941_ocfs-20021012.gz
Only in 2.4.20rc1aa1: 9942_ocfs-compile-1

        Updated to a recent snapshot.
