Hello,
Linux 2.4.1 (and 2.4.2-pre1) thinks my Cyrix 6x86 P166+ is a i486-class
machine. (It is a i586-class CPU.) 2.4.0 didn't recognize the
model name; 2.4.1 fixed that, but I guess the cpu family part may need
fixing too.

Hi, all. I've just released version 1.3.11 of my devfsd (devfs
daemon) at: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/
This works with devfs-patch-v130 and devfs-patch-v99.7 (or later).
The main changes are:
- Workaround changes in glibc 2.2
- Handle cases where fds [0:2] are closed already.

This is an offtopic question. What determines the amount of 'reserved' memory,

The implementation of SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT in ymfpci.c is too hacky (as
of 2.4.1-ac3). The comment says that it was done for Doom only.
The attached patch makes the implementation of SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT
similar to those of other cards (the code from cmpci.c was used).

As part of better understanding some of the issues in SMP,
I've been working at documenting all the global kernel locks in use,

When using -Dfoo='"bar"' in CFLAGS, it ends up as -Dfoo=bar in the
