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!

+        bool "IPX: Full internal IPX network"
+        depends on IPX
+        ---help---
+          Every IPX network has an address that identifies it. Sometimes it is
+          useful to give an IPX "network" address to your Linux box as well
+          (for example if your box is acting as a file server for different
+          IPX networks: it will then be accessible from everywhere using the
+          same address). The way this is done is to create a virtual internal
+          "network" inside your box and to assign an IPX address to this
+          network. Say Y here if you want to do this; read the IPX-HOWTO at
+          <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto> for details.
+
+          The full internal IPX network enables you to allocate sockets on
+          different virtual nodes of the internal network. This is done by
+          evaluating the field sipx_node of the socket address given to the
+          bind call. So applications should always initialize the node field
+          to 0 when binding a socket on the primary network. In this case the
+          socket is assigned the default node that has been given to the
+          kernel when the internal network was created. By enabling the full
+          internal IPX network the cross-forwarding of packets targeted at
+          'special' sockets to sockets listening on the primary network is
+          disabled. This might break existing applications, especially RIP/SAP
+          daemons. A RIP/SAP daemon that works well with the full internal net
+          can be found on <ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/ncpfs/>.
