input and output, etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Rebase to 3.0. Version reports as 2.6.40 for compatibility with older userspace.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:
* Fri Jul 29 2011 Dave Jones <davej at redhat.com> 2.6.40-4
- Re-add utrace, which got accidentally dropped during the rebase.
* Thu Jul 28 2011 Dave Jones <davej at redhat.com> 2.6.40-3
- Fix module-init-tools conflict:
* Thu Jul 28 2011 Dave Jones <davej at redhat.com> 2.6.40-2
- fix crash in scsi_dispatch_cmd()
* Thu Jul 28 2011 Dave Jones <davej at redhat.com> 2.6.40-1

* Thu Jun 30 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com> 2.6.40-0.rc5.git0.1
- More than meets the eye, it's Linux 3.0-rc5 in disguise.
* Mon Jun 27 2011 Dave Jones <davej at redhat.com>
- Disable CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS, as this also disables FIPS (rhbz 716942)
* Thu Jun 23 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com> 3.0-0.rc4.git3.1
- Linux 3.0-rc4-git3
- Drop linux-3.0-fix-uts-release.patch, and instead just perl the Makefile
- linux-2.6-silence-noise.patch: fix context
- iwlagn-fix-dma-direction.patch: fix DMAR errors (for me at least)
* Wed Jun 22 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com> 3.0-0.rc4.git0.2
- Re-enable debuginfo generation. Thanks to Richard Jones for noticing... no
wonder builds had been so quick lately.
* Tue Jun 21 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com> 3.0-0.rc4.git0.1
- Linux 3.0-rc4 (getting closer...)
* Fri Jun 17 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com> 3.0-0.rc3.git6.1
- Update to 3.0-rc3-git6
* Fri Jun 17 2011 Dave Jones <davej at redhat.com>
- drop qcserial 'compile fix' that was just duplicating an include.
- drop struct sizeof debug patch. (no real value. not upstreamable)
- drop linux-2.6-debug-always-inline-kzalloc.patch.
Can't recall why this was added. Can easily re-add if deemed necessary.
* Fri Jun 17 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com>
- linux-2.6-defaults-pci_no_msi.patch: drop, haven't toggled the default
in many moons.
- linux-2.6-defaults-pci_use_crs.patch: ditto.
- linux-2.6-selinux-mprotect-checks.patch: upstream a while ago.
- drm-i915-gen4-has-non-power-of-two-strides.patch: drop buggy bugfix
- drop some more unapplied crud.
- We haven't applied firewire patches in a dogs age.
* Fri Jun 17 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com> 3.0-0.rc3.git5.1
- Try updating to a git snapshot for the first time in 3.0-rc,
update to 3.0-rc3-git5
- Fix a subtle bug I introduced in 3.0-rc1, "patch-3." is 9 letters, not 10.
* Thu Jun 16 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com>
- Disable mm patches which had been submitted against 2.6.39, as Rik reports
they seem to aggravate a VM_BUG_ON. More investigation is necessary.

- Conflict with pre-3.2.1-5 versions of mdadm. (#710646)
* Wed Jun 15 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com>

* Tue Jun 14 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com> 3.0-0.rc3.git0.3
- Fix libdm conflict (whose bright idea was it to give subpackages differing
version numbers?)
* Tue Jun 14 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com>
- Update to 3.0-rc3, add another conflicts to deal with 2 digit
versions (libdm.)
- Simplify linux-3.0-fix-uts-release.patch now that SUBLEVEL is optional.

patch.

- Update to 3.0-rc2, rebase utsname fix.
- Build IPv6 into the kernel for a variety of reasons
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kernel/2011-June/003105.html)
* Mon Jun 6 2011 Kyle McMartin <kmcmartin at redhat.com> 3.0-0.rc1.git0.3
