Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+ *
+ * RETURNS      Return value from the user_function if terminated early.
+ *              Otherwise, returns NULL.
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION: Performs a modified depth-first walk of the namespace tree,
+ *              starting (and ending) at the object specified by start_handle.
+ *              The user_function is called whenever an object that matches
+ *              the type parameter is found.  If the user function returns
+ *              a non-zero value, the search is terminated immediately and this
+ *              value is returned to the caller.
+ *
+ *              The point of this procedure is to provide a generic namespace
+ *              walk routine that can be called from multiple places to
+ *              provide multiple services;  the User Function can be tailored
+ *              to each task, whether it is a print function, a compare
+ *              function, etc.
