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!

+Do the ax25_list_lock, ax25_dev_lock, linkfail_lockreally, ax25_frag_lock and
+listen_lock have to be bh-safe?
+
+Do the netrom and rose locks have to be bh-safe?
+
+A device might be deleted after lookup in the SIOCADDRT ioctl but before it's
+being used.
+
+Routes to a device being taken down might be deleted by ax25_rt_device_down
+but added by somebody else before the device has been deleted fully.
+
+Massive amounts of lock_kernel / unlock_kernel are just a temporary solution to
+get around the removal of SOCKOPS_WRAP. A serious locking strategy has to be
+implemented.
+
+The ax25_rt_find_route synopsys is pervert but I somehow had to deal with
+the race caused by the static variable in it's previous implementation.
+
+Implement proper socket locking in netrom and rose.
+
+Check socket locking when ax25_rcv is sending to raw sockets. In particular
+ax25_send_to_raw() seems fishy. Heck - ax25_rcv is fishy.
+
+Handle XID and TEST frames properly.
