I've put a new kernel patch on ftp.netwinder.org. This includes:
- actually do the "disable FIQs while updating irq masks" thing, since Econet
doesn't stand much of a chance without. If you're using floppies on an
old Acorn machine, especially in high bandwidth modes, be careful.
RiscPCs and anything non Acorn won't be affected.
- /proc/cpuinfo now includes a `machine serial number' field. The only
machine where this currently does anything exciting is the A5000 which puts
its unique ID there. This would probably work for the RiscPC too (just
needs enabling in setup.c); if anybody tries it, let me know what happens.
NetWinders with a new enough NeTTrom might also get a valid number for
this.
- usual other stuff, see the CHANGES.philb file (hopefully now more or less
up to date) for full details.
