05ff09706b Make lguest compile with CONFIG_BLOCK=n and CONFIG_NET=n
Gabriel C reports lguest doesn't compile with CONFIG_BLOCK=n.  Fix this
by introducing a config var for the block device, which depends on
LGUEST && BLOCK.  Do the same for the net driver, rather then depending
gratuitously on CONFIG_NET.

c6131fa528 ps3: Disk Storage Driver
Add a Disk Storage Driver for the PS3:
  - Implemented as a block device driver with a dynamic major
  - Disk names (and partitions) are of the format ps3d%c(%u)
  - Uses software scatter-gather with a 64 KiB bounce buffer as the hypervisor
    doesn't support scatter-gather

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 c2bcf3b897:

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

c2bcf3b897 [PATCH] Remove acsi.c
Originally from Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

It hasn't been working in 2.5 or 2.6 ever, since it's still buffer_head
based.

b21a323710 [PATCH] remove the broken BLK_DEV_SWIM_IOP driver
The BLK_DEV_SWIM_IOP driver has:
- already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and
- is still marked as BROKEN.

Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still
present in the older kernel releases.

3a65dfe8c0 [BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directory
drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move
the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/
related block parts to block/ next.

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!
