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!

+Release notes for Linux Kernel VFP support code
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Date:   20 May 2004
+Author: Russell King
+
+This is the first release of the Linux Kernel VFP support code.  It
+provides support for the exceptions bounced from VFP hardware found
+on ARM926EJ-S.
+
+This release has been validated against the SoftFloat-2b library by
+John R. Hauser using the TestFloat-2a test suite.  Details of this
+library and test suite can be found at:
+
+   http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jhauser/arithmetic/SoftFloat.html
+
+The operations which have been tested with this package are:
+
+ - fdiv
+ - fsub
+ - fadd
+ - fmul
+ - fcmp
+ - fcmpe
+ - fcvtd
+ - fcvts
+ - fsito
+ - ftosi
+ - fsqrt
+
+All the above pass softfloat tests with the following exceptions:
+
+- fadd/fsub shows some differences in the handling of +0 / -0 results
+  when input operands differ in signs.
+- the handling of underflow exceptions is slightly different.  If a
+  result underflows before rounding, but becomes a normalised number
+  after rounding, we do not signal an underflow exception.
+
+Other operations which have been tested by basic assembly-only tests
+are:
+
+ - fcpy
+ - fabs
+ - fneg
+ - ftoui
+ - ftosiz
+ - ftouiz
+
+The combination operations have not been tested:
+
+ - fmac
+ - fnmac
+ - fmsc
+ - fnmsc
+ - fnmul
