Working from the alpha-patches-2.0.32-0.1.gz found on ftp.digital.com, I've
ported the support for SX164, LX164 and Ruffian platforms to 2.1.85, and
included the em86 patches which were also on the site.

Would people please look over and test this for me.

STATUS: SX164 and em86 are tested and seem happy on the two machines I have
access to.
LX164 and Ruffian are known to at least compile.

KNOWN BUGS:
CONFIG_RTC will make system performance unreliable. Explain it if you
can.

The patch is at
ftp://dwmw2.robinson.cam.ac.uk/pub/kernel/alpha-patches-2.1.85-0.2.gz

P.S. Anyone to whom my mail system complained along the lines of:

I apologise - it was a race condition caused by piping incoming mail to MH,
triggered when two deliveries were made to the same folder at once. I've fixed
it now.
