The paragraph on mcelog currently describes kernel v2.6.31. In that
kernel the mce code (for i386, that is) was in transition. Ever since
v2.6.32 the situation is much simpler (eg, mcelog is now needed to
process events on almost all x86 machines, i386 and x86-64). Since this
"document is designed to provide a list of the minimum levels of
software necessary to run the 3.0 kernels" let's just describe that
situation.

That file harkens back to the days of the big 2.4 -> 2.6 version jump,
and was based even then on older versions. Some of it is just obsolete,
and Jesper Juhl points out that it talks about kernel versions 2.6 and
should be updated to 3.0.
Remove some obsolete text, and re-phrase some other to not be 2.6-specific.

I noticed the 'mcelog' program had no comment and then ended up "fixing"
a few more things:
* reiserfsck -V does not print "reiserfsprogs" (any more?)
* is "udevinfo" still shipped? udevd certainly is
* grub2 doesn't have a 'grub' binary
* add a "# how to get the mcelog version" comment

I've found some web addresses not responding, giving the cannot
connect error when trying to load them. The below patch updates
the addresses that are not connecting with the best that I can find,
and also fixes a couple of addresses, so people can either choose an older
version of the package and/or a newer version(i.e. ppp).

Perl is used on the kernel Makefile to generate documentation, firmwares
in c source form, sources, graphs, and some headers and this fact is
undocumented.

The below patch passes samples from anonymous regions to userspace instead
of just dropping them. This provides the support needed for reporting
anonymous-region code samples (today: basic accumulated results; later:
Java and other dynamically compiled code).
As this changes the format, an upgrade to the just-released 0.9 release of
the userspace tools is required.
This patch is based upon an earlier one by Will Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com>

xmlto uses standared XSLT templates to generate manpages, (x)html pages, and
XML FO files which can be processed with passivetex. This is much faster than
using jadetex for everything. This patch also reduces the number of

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!
