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!

+STATUS:
+
+o The core setup works within limits.
+o The scsi layer seems to almost work.
+ I'm still chasing down the hang bug.
+o The block OSM is mostly functional
+o LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.
+
+TO DO:
+
+General:
+o Provide hidden address space if asked
+o Long term message flow control
+o PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
+o Push FAIL handling into the core
+o DDM control interfaces for module load etc
+o Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)
+
+Block:
+o Multiple major numbers
+o Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
+o Power management
+o Finish Media changers
+
+SCSI:
+o Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses
+
+Lan:
+o Performance tuning
+o Test Fibre Channel code
+
+Tape:
+o Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
+ (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
