Linus Walleij 1fbeeba35e block: remove refs to XD disks from documentation
Commit d1a6f4f197
"block: delete super ancient PC-XT driver for 1980's hardware"
deleted the XD disk driver, but there are still a few
references to it in the documentation directory. Delete
the remnants and thus also free up the major block device
13 for reuse.

Will Drewry f2d34fd943 Documentation: add pointer to name_to_dev_t for root= values
Update kernel-parameters.txt to point users to the authoritative comment
for name_to_dev_t.  In addition, updates other places where some
name_to_dev_t behavior was discussed.  All other references to root=
appear to be for explicit sample usage or just side comments when
discussing other kernel parameters.

Robert P. J. Day fac8b209b1 Remove final traces of long-deprecated "ramdisk" kernel parm
Since the "ramdisk" kernel parameter has been officially deprecated
since at least 2.6.18, might as well finally get rid of it.

Adrian Bunk 56a68a500f more ACSI removal
This patch removes some code that became dead code after the ATARI_ACSI
removal.

It also indirectly fixes the following bug introduced by
commit c2bcf3b8978c291e1b7f6499475c8403a259d4d6:

 config ATARI_SLM
        tristate "Atari SLM laser printer support"
-       depends on ATARI && ATARI_ACSI!=n
+       depends on ATARI

Hugh Dickins f9c98d0287 [PATCH] mm: m68k kill stram swap
Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code.  It may be
excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it
hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving
deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is
to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time;
yet we keep on breaking it more and more.

If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already
provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the
extra.  But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for
other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need.  But unbuilt
for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all.

I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-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!
