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 patch43.gz
- More spelling/formatting changes to the kernel. You wouldn't believe
that the kernel whould have *that* many speeling errrors in it.
Always remember: I before E except after C.
- Boot/setup/build work for setup > 2K
- irqaction and associated struct are history, replaced by a fancier request_irq.
- Kluge code to keep dosemu from crashing was removed from floppy driver.
- Some console initialization code got moved to a tty initializer.
- 8390 Ethernet controller code has module support added.
