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!

+/* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
+
+	The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
+	route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
+
+	Why?  If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
+	PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
+	when the link is up.  Otherwise you have to use localhost.
+	This isn't very consistent.
+
+	One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
+	but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
+	This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
+	
+	[when not running slip]
+		ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
+	[to go to slip]
+		ifconfig dummy down
+		dip whatever
+
+	This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
+	and the loopback driver.  I then threw away anything that didn't
+	apply!	Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
+	misguided packets.
