for-linus is a always[*] subset of m68k-queue, so you can ignore it.
[*] Except if I feed extra stuff, like this time the m68knommu signal fixes.
But those don't matter for m68k.

Guys, what are you smoking?
I was pleasantly surprised when my Amiga detected a "540 MB" drive, as the
one I bought was advertised as a "524 MB" drive. Turned out due to MS-DOS
supporting only 1024 cylinders, while the Amiga saw 1057 ;-)
I have to admit I bought this drive in 1993, not yesterday.
