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!

+/*
+ * PPP synchronous tty channel driver for Linux.
+ *
+ * This is a ppp channel driver that can be used with tty device drivers
+ * that are frame oriented, such as synchronous HDLC devices.
+ *
+ * Complete PPP frames without encoding/decoding are exchanged between
+ * the channel driver and the device driver.
+ * 
+ * The async map IOCTL codes are implemented to keep the user mode
+ * applications happy if they call them. Synchronous PPP does not use
+ * the async maps.
+ *
+ * Copyright 1999 Paul Mackerras.
+ *
+ * Also touched by the grubby hands of Paul Fulghum paulkf@microgate.com

+ *
+ * This driver provides the encapsulation and framing for sending
+ * and receiving PPP frames over sync serial lines.  It relies on
+ * the generic PPP layer to give it frames to send and to process
+ * received frames.  It implements the PPP line discipline.
+ *
+ * Part of the code in this driver was inspired by the old async-only
+ * PPP driver, written by Michael Callahan and Al Longyear, and
+ * subsequently hacked by Paul Mackerras.
