f148af2593 [PATCH] ARM: 2837/2: Re: ARM: Make NWFPE preempt safe
Patch from Richard Purdie

NWFPE used global variables which meant it wasn't safe for use with
preemptive kernels. This patch removes them and communicates the
information between functions in a preempt safe manner. Generation
of some exceptions was broken and this has also been corrected.
Tests with glibc's maths test suite show no change in the results
before/after this patch.

b66da4a485 [PATCH] ARM: Remove global nwfpe register variable
Recent changes to nwfpe broke the build with some gcc versions:

In file included from arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.c:33:
arch/arm/nwfpe/fpa11.h:32: global register variable follows a function definition
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.o] Error 1

Since we now ensure that the kernel stack is empty when returning
to user space, we can now access the userspace registers with
reference to the kernel stack using current_thread_info(), rather
than remembering the stack pointer at the time nwfpe was called.

7343c9ba8e [PATCH] ARM: remove linux/version.h include from arch/arm
Changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no appearent reason.

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!
