Changes from 1.1.31 to 1.1.32

These changes are archived on ftp.crynwr.com:pub/kchanges and http://www.crynwr.com/kchanges. I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone, but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the patches themselves. The patch file is patch32.gz

• IDE Performance Enhancements Version 2.0 included (but are disabled for comptibility reasons).
• The selection package can now highlight the pointer.
• ni5210 and ni6510 probing added.
• PPP doesn't have to loop through dev_rint.
• The MSS/WSS support works now. At least with SG NX Pro 16.
• mm.h changed to match the actual do_wp_page() and do_no_page() calls.
• ptrace.c modified to do something I don't understand.
• memory.c modified to do something I don't understand.
• timer management code changed around.
• nit support added to network device drivers.
• change in timeout of closed tcp socket state handling (hey, this might fix the bug I've seen where all the data gets transmitted, but the close never occurs!).
