2006-01-14	[ARM] 3101/1: ARM EABI: slab memory must be 64-bit aligned	Nicolas Pitre
	Patch from Nicolas Pitre Although ARM is still using 32-bit pointers, version 5 and later versions of the ARM architecture introduced the ldrd and strd instructions to move 64-bit data which must be 64-bit aligned in memory, and the EABI includes new constraints on structure data alignment to allow for the compiler to use those instructions. This means that any slab allocation must start on a 64-bit boundary which is not equivalent to BYTES_PER_WORD, especially on those architecture versions that implements the ldrd/strd instructions. Overriding the default alignment disables some slab debug features. If those debug features are really needed then the kernel will have to be compiled for version 4 of the ARM architecture.

2005-09-05	[PATCH] mm: consolidate get_order	Stephen Rothwell
	Someone mentioned that almost all the architectures used basically the same implementation of get_order. This patch consolidates them into asm-generic/page.h and includes that in the appropriate places. The exceptions are ia64 and ppc which have their own (presumably optimised) versions.

2005-05-10	[PATCH] ARM: Move copy/clear user_page locking into implementation	Russell King
	Move the locking for copy_user_page() and clear_user_page() into the implementations which require locking. For simple memcpy/ memset based implementations, the locking is extra overhead which is not necessary, and prevents preemption occuring. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>

	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!
