f65e4fa8e0 [MIPS] Improve branch prediction in ll/sc atomic operations.
Now that finally all supported versions of binutils have functioning
support for .subsection use .subsection to tweak the branch prediction

I did not modify the R10000 errata variants because it seems unclear if
this will invalidate the workaround which actually relies on the cheesy
prediction of branch likely to cause a misspredict if the sc was
successful.

2d911e9a4e [MIPS] Move die and die_if_kernel() from system.h to ptrace.h
This eleminates the need to include ptrace.h into system.h and fixes a
harmless namespace conflict on the PC symbol in bpck.c.

Also the R4000 / R4600 LL/SC instructions imply a sync so no explicit sync

52393ccc0a [PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removal
set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
code more and has no benefit.  Since it is not currently used in the
kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.

All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead.  But this is
still moot since it is not used anyway.

Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled
tested)

4866cde064 [PATCH] sched: cleanup context switch locking
Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's
locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the
architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for
interrupts to be enabled over the context switch.

Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu
flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag).  This eliminates one bus
locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the
task_running function.

1da177e4c3 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!
