I haven't attached this part, since it's quite clear how it will look 
like...

See attached specfile diffs (diff -cp).

Notes:
* buildid change will of course not go to the cvs
* The with_* defines, might be better!? Suggestions are welcome!
* Source100 and Source101 for config-alpha* is OK for you?
* Alpha-specific patches that are commented out will be removed before 
commit!
* Changelog will be updated to give more information.

Attached as config-alpha-generic-$DIST

config-alpha-smp contains only the following two lines:
CONFIG_SMP=y
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=16

I know you're going to tell me that I have to rework the 
config-alpha-generic to use the config-generic.

And yes, I'll do that as the next step, but for now, may I check it in 
as it is?

No problem. Since it's a diff against alpha/include/asm/pgalloc.h, I can 
easily integrate this hunk into the execshield.patch.

Yes. Also one of the next steps. :-)

Well, e100 has problems on alpha, that's why we used to patch eepro100. 
However. I guess we can fix this together with upstream. Jay, you 
volunteered!? :-)

Yes, of course! If Jay hasn't already done that, we really need to.

Thx a lot Dave for your trust!

I'm not going to commit anything until I have your *GO*...
