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!

+ * This map driver is used to allocate "placeholder" MTD
+ * devices on systems that have socketed/removable media. 
+ * Use of this driver as a fallback preserves the expected 
+ * registration of MTD device nodes regardless of probe outcome.
+ * A usage example is as follows:
+ *
+ *		my_dev[i] = do_map_probe("cfi", &my_map[i]);
+ *		if(NULL == my_dev[i]) {
+ *			my_dev[i] = do_map_probe("map_absent", &my_map[i]);
+ *		}
+ *
+ * Any device 'probed' with this driver will return -ENODEV
+ * upon open.
