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!

+        tristate "BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+        depends on EXPERIMENTAL
+        depends on !IA64
+        help
+          Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
+          Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
+          BIOS tries boot from.  This information is then exported via sysfs.
+
+          This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
+          obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
+          not yet implement this feature.
+
+config EFI_VARS
+        tristate "EFI Variable Support via sysfs"
+        depends on EFI
+        default n
+        help
+          If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
+          Interface) variable information via sysfs.  You may read,
+          write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
+
+          Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
+          at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
+          available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
+          <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>
+
+          Subsequent efibootmgr releases may be found at:
+          <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr>
+
+config EFI_PCDP
+        bool "Console device selection via EFI PCDP or HCDP table"
+        depends on ACPI && EFI && IA64
+        default y if IA64
+        help
+          If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
+          automatically use the primary console device it describes
+          as the Linux console, say Y here.
+
+          If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
+          use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
+          say Y here.  If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
+          device, it will become the console automatically.  Otherwise,
+          you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
+
+          Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
+          so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
+          on how the driver discovers devices.
+
+          You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)
