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!

+		    LINUX ALLOCATED DEVICES (2.6+ version)
+
+	     Maintained by Torben Mathiasen <device@lanana.org>
+
+		      Last revised: 25 January 2005
+
+This list is the Linux Device List, the official registry of allocated
+device numbers and /dev directory nodes for the Linux operating
+system.
+
+The latest version of this list is available from
+http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/ or
+ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/device-list/.  This version may be
+newer than the one distributed with the Linux kernel.
+
+The LaTeX version of this document is no longer maintained.
+
+This document is included by reference into the Filesystem Hierarchy
+Standard (FHS).	 The FHS is available from http://www.pathname.com/fhs/.
+
+Allocations marked (68k/Amiga) apply to Linux/68k on the Amiga
+platform only.	Allocations marked (68k/Atari) apply to Linux/68k on
+the Atari platform only.
+
+The symbol {2.6} means the allocation is obsolete and scheduled for
+removal once kernel version 2.6 (or equivalent) is released. Some of these
+allocations have already been removed.
+
+This document is in the public domain.	The author requests, however,
+that semantically altered versions are not distributed without
+permission of the author, assuming the author can be contacted without
+an unreasonable effort.
+
+In particular, please don't sent patches for this list to Linus, at
+least not without contacting me first.
+
+I do not have any information about these devices beyond what appears
+on this list.  Any such information requests will be deleted without
+reply.
+
+
+	  **** DEVICE DRIVERS AUTHORS PLEASE READ THIS ****
+
+To have a major number allocated, or a minor number in situations
+where that applies (e.g. busmice), please contact me with the
+appropriate device information.	 Also, if you have additional
+information regarding any of the devices listed below, or if I have
+made a mistake, I would greatly appreciate a note.
+
+I do, however, make a few requests about the nature of your report.
+This is necessary for me to be able to keep this list up to date and
+correct in a timely manner.  First of all, *please* send it to the
+correct address... <device@lanana.org>.  I receive hundreds of email
+messages a day, so mail sent to other addresses may very well get lost
+in the avalanche.  Please put in a descriptive subject, so I can find
+your mail again should I need to.  Too many people send me email
+saying just "device number request" in the subject.
+
+Second, please include a description of the device *in the same format
+as this list*.	The reason for this is that it is the only way I have
+found to ensure I have all the requisite information to publish your
+device and avoid conflicts.
+
+Third, please don't assume that the distributed version of the list is
+up to date.  Due to the number of registrations I have to maintain it
+in "batch mode", so there is likely additional registrations that
+haven't been listed yet.
+
+Finally, sometimes I have to play "namespace police."  Please don't be
+offended.  I often get submissions for /dev names that would be bound
+to cause conflicts down the road.  I am trying to avoid getting in a
+situation where we would have to suffer an incompatible forward
+change.  Therefore, please consult with me *before* you make your
+device names and numbers in any way public, at least to the point
+where it would be at all difficult to get them changed.
+
+Your cooperation is appreciated.
+
+
+  0		Unnamed devices (e.g. non-device mounts)
+		  0 = reserved as null device number
+		See block major 144, 145, 146 for expansion areas.
+
+  1 char	Memory devices
+		  1 = /dev/mem		Physical memory access
+		  2 = /dev/kmem		Kernel virtual memory access
+		  3 = /dev/null		Null device
+		  4 = /dev/port		I/O port access
+		  5 = /dev/zero		Null byte source
+		  6 = /dev/core		OBSOLETE - replaced by /proc/kcore
+		  7 = /dev/full		Returns ENOSPC on write
+		  8 = /dev/random	Nondeterministic random number gen.
+		  9 = /dev/urandom	Faster, less secure random number gen.
+		 10 = /dev/aio		Asyncronous I/O notification interface
+		 11 = /dev/kmsg		Writes to this come out as printk's
+  1 block	RAM disk
+		  0 = /dev/ram0		First RAM disk
+		  1 = /dev/ram1		Second RAM disk
+		    ...
+		250 = /dev/initrd	Initial RAM disk {2.6}
+
+		Older kernels had /dev/ramdisk (1, 1) here.
+		/dev/initrd refers to a RAM disk which was preloaded
+		by the boot loader; newer kernels use /dev/ram0 for
+		the initrd.
+
+  2 char	Pseudo-TTY masters
+		  0 = /dev/ptyp0	First PTY master
+		  1 = /dev/ptyp1	Second PTY master
+		    ...
+		255 = /dev/ptyef	256th PTY master
+
+		Pseudo-tty's are named as follows:
+		* Masters are "pty", slaves are "tty";
+		* the fourth letter is one of pqrstuvwxyzabcde indicating
+		  the 1st through 16th series of 16 pseudo-ttys each, and
+		* the fifth letter is one of 0123456789abcdef indicating
+		  the position within the series.
+
+		These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
+		devices are on major 128 and above and use the PTY
+		master multiplex (/dev/ptmx) to acquire a PTY on
+		demand.
+  
+  2 block	Floppy disks
+		  0 = /dev/fd0		Controller 0, drive 0, autodetect

+
+		 36 = /dev/fd?CompaQ	Compaq 2880K drive; obsolete?
+
+		(1) Autodetectable format
+		(2) Autodetectable format in a Double Density (720K) drive only
+		(3) Autodetectable format in a High Density (1440K) drive only
+
+		NOTE: The letter in the device name (d, q, h or u)
+		signifies the type of drive: 5.25" Double Density (d),
+		5.25" Quad Density (q), 5.25" High Density (h) or 3.5"
+		(any model, u).	 The use of the capital letters D, H
+		and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
+		the drive type is insignificant for these devices.
+
+  3 char	Pseudo-TTY slaves
+		  0 = /dev/ttyp0	First PTY slave
+		  1 = /dev/ttyp1	Second PTY slave
+		    ...
+		255 = /dev/ttyef	256th PTY slave
+
+		These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
+		devices are on major 136 and above.
+
+  3 block	First MFM, RLL and IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
+		  0 = /dev/hda		Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
+		 64 = /dev/hdb		Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
+
+		For partitions, add to the whole disk device number:
+		  0 = /dev/hd?		Whole disk
+		  1 = /dev/hd?1		First partition
+		  2 = /dev/hd?2		Second partition
+		    ...
+		 63 = /dev/hd?63	63rd partition
+
+		For Linux/i386, partitions 1-4 are the primary
+		partitions, and 5 and above are logical partitions.
+		Other versions of Linux use partitioning schemes
+		appropriate to their respective architectures.
+
+  4 char	TTY devices
+		  0 = /dev/tty0		Current virtual console
+
+		  1 = /dev/tty1		First virtual console
+		    ...

+		 64 = /dev/ttyS0	First UART serial port
+		    ...
+		255 = /dev/ttyS191	192nd UART serial port
+
+		UART serial ports refer to 8250/16450/16550 series devices.
+
+		Older versions of the Linux kernel used this major
+		number for BSD PTY devices.  As of Linux 2.1.115, this
+		is no longer supported.	 Use major numbers 2 and 3.
+
+  4 block	Aliases for dynamically allocated major devices to be used
+		when its not possible to create the real device nodes
+		because the root filesystem is mounted read-only.

+		the section on terminal devices for more information
+		on /dev/console.
+
+  6 char	Parallel printer devices
+		  0 = /dev/lp0		Parallel printer on parport0
+		  1 = /dev/lp1		Parallel printer on parport1
+		    ...
+
+		Current Linux kernels no longer have a fixed mapping
+		between parallel ports and I/O addresses.  Instead,
+		they are redirected through the parport multiplex layer.
+
+  7 char	Virtual console capture devices
+		  0 = /dev/vcs		Current vc text contents
+		  1 = /dev/vcs1		tty1 text contents
+		    ...

+		NOTE: These devices permit both read and write access.
+
+  7 block	Loopback devices
+		  0 = /dev/loop0	First loopback device
+		  1 = /dev/loop1	Second loopback device
+		    ...
+
+		The loopback devices are used to mount filesystems not
+		associated with block devices.	The binding to the
+		loopback devices is handled by mount(8) or losetup(8).
+
+  8 block	SCSI disk devices (0-15)
+		  0 = /dev/sda		First SCSI disk whole disk
+		 16 = /dev/sdb		Second SCSI disk whole disk
+		 32 = /dev/sdc		Third SCSI disk whole disk
+		    ...
+		240 = /dev/sdp		Sixteenth SCSI disk whole disk
+
+		Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
+		disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
+		partitions is 15.
+
+  9 char	SCSI tape devices
+		  0 = /dev/st0		First SCSI tape, mode 0
+		  1 = /dev/st1		Second SCSI tape, mode 0
+		    ...
+		 32 = /dev/st0l		First SCSI tape, mode 1
+		 33 = /dev/st1l		Second SCSI tape, mode 1
+		    ...
+		 64 = /dev/st0m		First SCSI tape, mode 2

+		160 = /dev/nst0l	First SCSI tape, mode 1, no rewind
+		161 = /dev/nst1l	Second SCSI tape, mode 1, no rewind
+		    ...
+		192 = /dev/nst0m	First SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
+		193 = /dev/nst1m	Second SCSI tape, mode 2, no rewind
+		    ...
+		224 = /dev/nst0a	First SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
+		225 = /dev/nst1a	Second SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
+		    ...
+
+		"No rewind" refers to the omission of the default
+		automatic rewind on device close.  The MTREW or MTOFFL
+		ioctl()'s can be used to rewind the tape regardless of
+		the device used to access it.
+
+  9 block	Metadisk (RAID) devices
+		  0 = /dev/md0		First metadisk group
+		  1 = /dev/md1		Second metadisk group
+		    ...
+
+		The metadisk driver is used to span a
+		filesystem across multiple physical disks.
