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!

+
+	  Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the

+	  The Acorn Disc Filing System is the standard file system of the

+	  systems and the Acorn Archimedes range of machines.  If you say
+	  `Y' here, Linux will support disk partitions created under ADFS.

+
+config BSD_DISKLABEL
+	bool "BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support"
+	depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION
+	help
+	  FreeBSD uses its own hard disk partition scheme on your PC. It
+	  requires only one entry in the primary partition table of your disk
+	  and manages it similarly to DOS extended partitions, putting in its
+	  first sector a new partition table in BSD disklabel format. Saying Y
+	  here allows you to read these disklabels and further mount FreeBSD
+	  partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS
+	  file system support", above. If you don't know what all this is
+	  about, say N.
+
+config MINIX_SUBPARTITION
+	bool "Minix subpartition support"
+	depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION
+	help
+	  Minix 2.0.0/2.0.2 subpartition table support for Linux.
+	  Say Y here if you want to mount and use Minix 2.0.0/2.0.2
+	  subpartitions.
+
+config SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION
+	bool "Solaris (x86) partition table support"
+	depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION
+	help
+	  Like most systems, Solaris x86 uses its own hard disk partition
+	  table format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you
+	  to read these partition tables and further mount Solaris x86
+	  partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS
+	  file system support", above.
+
+config UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL
+	bool "Unixware slices support"
+	depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION
+	---help---
+	  Like some systems, UnixWare uses its own slice table inside a
+	  partition (VTOC - Virtual Table of Contents). Its format is
+	  incompatible with all other OSes. Saying Y here allows you to read
+	  VTOC and further mount UnixWare partitions read-only from within
+	  Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support" or
+	  "System V and Coherent file system support", above.
+
+	  This is mainly used to carry data from a UnixWare box to your
+	  Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical, ZIP or
+	  removable IDE drives. Note, however, that a good portable way to
+	  transport files and directories between unixes (and even other
+	  operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or
+	  preferably "info tar").
+
+	  If you don't know what all this is about, say N.
+
+config LDM_PARTITION
+	bool "Windows Logical Disk Manager (Dynamic Disk) support"
+	depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED
+	---help---
+	  Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
+	  were partitioned using Windows 2000's or XP's Logical Disk Manager.
+	  They are also known as "Dynamic Disks".
+
+	  Windows 2000 introduced the concept of Dynamic Disks to get around
+	  the limitations of the PC's partitioning scheme.  The Logical Disk
+	  Manager allows the user to repartition a disk and create spanned,
+	  mirrored, striped or RAID volumes, all without the need for
+	  rebooting.
+
+	  Normal partitions are now called Basic Disks under Windows 2000 and
+	  XP.
+
+	  For a fuller description read <file:Documentation/ldm.txt>.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config LDM_DEBUG
+	bool "Windows LDM extra logging"
+	depends on LDM_PARTITION
+	help
+	  Say Y here if you would like LDM to log verbosely.  This could be
+	  helpful if the driver doesn't work as expected and you'd like to
+	  report a bug.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config SGI_PARTITION
+	bool "SGI partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+	default y if (SGI_IP22 || SGI_IP27 || ((MACH_JAZZ || SNI_RM200_PCI) && !CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN))
+	help
+	  Say Y here if you would like to be able to read the hard disk
+	  partition table format used by SGI machines.
+
+config ULTRIX_PARTITION
+	bool "Ultrix partition table support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+	default y if MACH_DECSTATION
+	help
+	  Say Y here if you would like to be able to read the hard disk
+	  partition table format used by DEC (now Compaq) Ultrix machines.
+	  Otherwise, say N.
+
+config SUN_PARTITION
+	bool "Sun partition tables support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+	default y if (SPARC32 || SPARC64 || SUN3 || SUN3X)
+	---help---
+	  Like most systems, SunOS uses its own hard disk partition table
+	  format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you to
+	  read these partition tables and further mount SunOS partitions from
+	  within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support",
+	  above. This is mainly used to carry data from a SPARC under SunOS to
+	  your Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical or ZIP
+	  drives; note however that a good portable way to transport files and
+	  directories between unixes (and even other operating systems) is
+	  given by the tar program ("man tar" or preferably "info tar"). If
+	  you don't know what all this is about, say N.
+
+config EFI_PARTITION
+	bool "EFI GUID Partition support"
+	depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED
+	select CRC32
+	help
+	  Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
+	  were partitioned using EFI GPT.  Presently only useful on the
+	  IA-64 platform.

+ * TODO:
+ *
+ * Changelog:
+ * Mon Nov 09 2004 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - test for valid PMBR and valid PGPT before ever reading
+ *   AGPT, allow override with 'gpt' kernel command line option.
+ * - check for first/last_usable_lba outside of size of disk
+ *
+ * Tue  Mar 26 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Ported to 2.5.7-pre1 and 2.5.7-dj2
+ * - Applied patch to avoid fault in alternate header handling
+ * - cleaned up find_valid_gpt
+ * - On-disk structure and copy in memory is *always* LE now - 
+ *   swab fields as needed
+ * - remove print_gpt_header()
+ * - only use first max_p partition entries, to keep the kernel minor number
+ *   and partition numbers tied.
+ *
+ * Mon  Feb 04 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Removed __PRIPTR_PREFIX - not being used
+ *
+ * Mon  Jan 14 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Ported to 2.5.2-pre11 + library crc32 patch Linus applied
+ *
+ * Thu Dec 6 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Added compare_gpts().
+ * - moved le_efi_guid_to_cpus() back into this file.  GPT is the only
+ *   thing that keeps EFI GUIDs on disk.
+ * - Changed gpt structure names and members to be simpler and more Linux-like.
+ * 
+ * Wed Oct 17 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Removed CONFIG_DEVFS_VOLUMES_UUID code entirely per Martin Wilck
+ *
+ * Wed Oct 10 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Changed function comments to DocBook style per Andreas Dilger suggestion.
+ *
+ * Mon Oct 08 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Change read_lba() to use the page cache per Al Viro's work.
+ * - print u64s properly on all architectures
+ * - fixed debug_printk(), now Dprintk()
+ *
+ * Mon Oct 01 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Style cleanups
+ * - made most functions static
+ * - Endianness addition
+ * - remove test for second alternate header, as it's not per spec,
+ *   and is unnecessary.  There's now a method to read/write the last
+ *   sector of an odd-sized disk from user space.  No tools have ever
+ *   been released which used this code, so it's effectively dead.
+ * - Per Asit Mallick of Intel, added a test for a valid PMBR.
+ * - Added kernel command line option 'gpt' to override valid PMBR test.
+ *
+ * Wed Jun  6 2001 Martin Wilck <Martin.Wilck@Fujitsu-Siemens.com>
+ * - added devfs volume UUID support (/dev/volumes/uuids) for
+ *   mounting file systems by the partition GUID. 
+ *
+ * Tue Dec  5 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Moved crc32() to linux/lib, added efi_crc32().
+ *
+ * Thu Nov 30 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Replaced Intel's CRC32 function with an equivalent
+ *   non-license-restricted version.
+ *
+ * Wed Oct 25 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Fixed the last_lba() call to return the proper last block
+ *
+ * Thu Oct 12 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Thanks to Andries Brouwer for his debugging assistance.
+ * - Code works, detects all the partitions.
