require specific partitions be mentioned in the kernel config
file ("swap on foo" is now obsolete).
From Poul-Henning:
The visible effect is this:
As default, unless
options "NSWAPDEV=23"
is in your config, you will have four swap-devices.
You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have
to be in the kernel config.
There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right
(but only if you have just one swap-device ??), but using that as default
would be too restrictive.
The invisible effect is that:
Swap-handling disappears from the $arch part of the kernel.
It gets a lot simpler (-145 lines) and cleaner.

The ``flags 1'' in the fdc line is now only needed for owners of an
Insight tape (perhaps there aren't any? Mine is disfunctional). All
other probes are safe wrt. to the motor-control line of floppy disk
drives. Document the flag in LINT finally.
We now have RELEASE=CURRENT in the CVS-tree.
If this hasn't been edited, we will use "BUILT-yyyymmdd" where the time is
that of the compile, and leave it at that, we can't do any better.
If there is no serious objections, I will modify the "cvs co" script on
freefall to fiddle this file after checkout so that it becomes
CURRENT-yyyymmdd, where the time is that of the checkout.
new driver code, there are diffs to several other existing files
on the system and a man page.
This version of matcd implements the rest of the key ioctls related to
playing audio CDs and reading table of contents information from any
type of disc.
This update also corrects several problems detected since the original
version 1(10) was released. These include:
1. Jordons report on the kernel -c string problem.
2. A problem with the driver being confused by other types of
devices located at addresses it probes.
3. An old CD TOC wouldn't always be cleared after a disc change.
4. Cleaned up code so -Wall yields no warnings on 2.0 and later.
5. A problem with drive getting out of sync with the driver when
changing between CD-Data and CD-DA.
There have only been two reports from the field relating to problems
so either the first release isn't really being used or doesn't have
many problems.
If there are any problems with this submission, please let me know.

slow, probably not very good after all, but hey, if you have one lying
around doing nothing anyway...
Added the "zp0" driver to GENERIC.
will cause kernel compiles to work even if the src/includes directory
doesn't exist but still do the 'Right Thing' and pull files from the
source tree if it does exist.
