[ANNOUNCE] WOLK v4.5s FINAL - Server Edition

Hi all,

so here we go, FINAL v4.5. This is the 5th maintenance update for WOLK4.0.
A missing security issue has been fixed! Sorry, forgot it in 4.4s :-(


This is the last WOLK4 update/release unless there will happen something
really bad!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For all of you who love RMAP and also grsecurity/PaX, please write to
'[email protected]' and ask, if they'll do RMAP support please.
I have some hacks in WOLK but they are obviously not 100% correct and I really
want to have full RMAP support in grsecurity/PaX with #ifdef's or macro's or
whatever. I really want to have this in WOLK5.0 based on 2.4.22. It's mostly
the pte-highmem stuff. Thank you.

Changelog from v4.4s -> v4.5s
-----------------------------
o   added:    ikconfig support (will be merged soon into 2.4-BK, finally!)
o   added:    kernel compilattion support for IBM's propolice gcc extension
o   added:    HP CISS: support for failover in multipath environments using
                the md driver. For more informations, please read:
                Documentation/cciss.txt: Monitor Threads
o   fixed:    CAN-2003-0464: A recent change in the RPC code set the reuse
                flag on newly-created sockets. Olaf Kirch noticed that his
                could allow normal users to bind to UDP ports used for
                services such as nfsd.
o   fixed:    CAN-2003-0187: A vulnerability was reported in Netfilter in the
                connection tracking function. On certain versions of the Linux
                kernel, a remote user can cause denial of service conditions
                on the target system.
o   fixed:    CAN-2003-0467: A vulnerability was reported in the network
                address translation (NAT) implementation in Netfilter. A
                remote user may be able to cause the target system to crash.
+   fixed:    3com 3c59x: static compile issue (Mike Bethune)
+   fixed:    3com 3c59x: module license missing (Michael Getsroither)
o   fixed:    Error out if no I/O elevator is selected and tell the user about
o   fixed:    AGPGART problem with 4GB RAM
o   fixed:    slab cache usage (it's broken in 2.4 mainline, too much wastage)
o   fixed:    irq handling of IO-APIC edge IRQs on UP
o   updated:  3ware Driver v1.02.00.036
o   updated:  LSI MegaRAID (driver series v1.18j)
o   updated:  LSI MegaRAID (driver series v2.00.7)


Notice: There was a report, that "q->full" fixes all of the latency problems
        and on SCSI devices, it is _faster_ than before. I don't know why this
        happens but it's true. So try it out ;)
