Hi all.

Here is short changelog for this branch. Possible I something missed for 
it - there are too much changes, most of them are small, system-level 
and aren't interesting for end-users, and some of them may be 
interesting for end-users but are forgotten iin that changelog.

Bering-uClibc 4.0 beta 1 changes:
core packages changes:
- updated kernel to 2.6.35
- updated uClibc to 0.9.30.3
- updated busybox to 1.17.1; added patch to change default modprobe 
behavior if there are 2 or more modules that corresponds to one modalias 
(it'll load module that have longest 'prefix' before first asterisk in 
it's modalias)
- updated iproute2 to 2.6.35
- used syslog-ng as logger

core scripts/kernel options changes:
- removed support of paging file
- disk subsystem moved from old ATA/MFM/RLL drivers to new ATA/SATA 
(SCSI-like)
- root FS migrated from initrd to initramfs; so syst_size option becomes 
obsolete (initramfs uses up to half of physical memory)
- included automatical module loading by modaliases in init script and 
in boot-time modprobe script
- added kernel variable KMODULES that specify modules from initrd that 
must be loaded before autoprobing for modaliases
- added mdev for automatical creation of device nodes in /dev

other packages changes:
- included full-weight perl 5.12.1
- included accel-pptpd (kernel-mode PPTP client/server)
- included packages for automatically backup system partition and update 
.lrp packages if fresh ones are present on update server
- included ifb-based shaper for PPP connections (for outgoing traffic)
- added patch for pppd for enabling mppe-128 encryption (allow-mppe-128 
instead of require-mppe-128) - that will help to accept moth 
pap/chap/mschap and mschapv2 authentication
- updated iptables to 1.4.9.1
- updated quagga to 0.99.16
- updated hostapd to 0.7.2
- updated net-snmp to 5.4.3
- some other packages are updated to newer versions


Now I'm thinking how to automatically enable RPS on network interfaces 
(how to write CPU bitmap to /sys/class/net/$IFACE/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus) 
- manual addition of line like 'up echo 0f 
 >/sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus' to interface file looks ugly...

Also it'll be good if somebody reviews kernel config - possibly there 
are some important things that aren't included, or there are some 
unuseful things.
