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!

+********************************************************************************
+*
+*
+*   PACKAGE:     Linux tty Device Driver for IntelliPort family of multiport
+*                serial I/O controllers.
+*
+*   DESCRIPTION: High-level interface code for the device driver. Uses the
+*                Extremely Low Level Interface Support (i2ellis.c). Provides an
+*                interface to the standard loadware, to support drivers or
+*                application code. (This is included source code, not a separate
+*                compilation module.)
+*
+*******************************************************************************/
+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Note on Strategy:
+// Once the board has been initialized, it will interrupt us when:
+// 1) It has something in the fifo for us to read (incoming data, flow control
+// packets, or whatever).
+// 2) It has stripped whatever we have sent last time in the FIFO (and
+// consequently is ready for more).
+//
+// Note also that the buffer sizes declared in i2lib.h are VERY SMALL. This
+// worsens performance considerably, but is done so that a great many channels
+// might use only a little memory.
+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Revision History:
+//
+// 0.00 -  4/16/91 --- First Draft
+// 0.01 -  4/29/91 --- 1st beta release
+// 0.02 -  6/14/91 --- Changes to allow small model compilation
+// 0.03 -  6/17/91 MAG Break reporting protected from interrupts routines with
+//                     in-line asm added for moving data to/from ring buffers,
+//                     replacing a variety of methods used previously.
+// 0.04 -  6/21/91 MAG Initial flow-control packets not queued until
+//                     i2_enable_interrupts time. Former versions would enqueue
+//                     them at i2_init_channel time, before we knew how many
+//                     channels were supposed to exist!
+// 0.05 - 10/12/91 MAG Major changes: works through the ellis.c routines now;
+//                     supports new 16-bit protocol and expandable boards.
+//      - 10/24/91 MAG Most changes in place and stable.
+// 0.06 -  2/20/92 MAG Format of CMD_HOTACK corrected: the command takes no
+//                     argument.
+// 0.07 -- 3/11/92 MAG Support added to store special packet types at interrupt
+//                     level (mostly responses to specific commands.)
+// 0.08 -- 3/30/92 MAG Support added for STAT_MODEM packet
+// 0.09 -- 6/24/93 MAG i2Link... needed to update number of boards BEFORE
+//                     turning on the interrupt.
+// 0.10 -- 6/25/93 MAG To avoid gruesome death from a bad board, we sanity check
+//                     some incoming.
+//
+// 1.1  - 12/25/96 AKM Linux version.
+//      - 10/09/98 DMC Revised Linux version.
