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!

+
+Misc. notes for RISCom/8 serial driver, in no particular order :)
+
+1) This driver can support up to 4 boards at time.
+   Use string "riscom8=0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX" at LILO prompt, for
+   setting I/O base addresses for boards. If you compile driver
+   as module use modprobe options "iobase=0xXXX iobase1=0xXXX iobase2=..."
+
+2) The driver partially supports famous 'setserial' program, you can use almost
+   any of its options, excluding port & irq settings.
+
+3) There are some misc. defines at the beginning of riscom8.c, please read the 
+   comments and try to change some of them in case of problems.
+
+4) I consider the current state of the driver as BETA.
+
+5) SDL Communications WWW page is http://www.sdlcomm.com.
+
+6) You can use the MAKEDEV program to create RISCom/8 /dev/ttyL* entries.
+
+7) Minor numbers for first board are 0-7, for second 8-15, etc.
