Hi,
the patch fixes the noexec= boot option on x86_64 to actually work when other
options come after it.
Credits (if any ;)) should go to Matt Zimmerman and Colin Watson for spotting
the problem and providing/testing the fix.

One thing everyone creating kernel patches with subversion

What is the status of sk98lin? Do we have to wait until Syskonnect gets
their act together
and write a new driver for 2.6.10?
Their latest is Oct 2004 and not at all compatible with 2.6.10 and beyond.
