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!

+ * An array of struct partition is passed along with a MTD object to
+ * add_mtd_partitions() to create them.
+ *
+ * For each partition, these fields are available:
+ * name: string that will be used to label the partition's MTD device.
+ * size: the partition size; if defined as MTDPART_SIZ_FULL, the partition 
+ * 	will extend to the end of the master MTD device.
+ * offset: absolute starting position within the master MTD device; if 
+ * 	defined as MTDPART_OFS_APPEND, the partition will start where the 
+ * 	previous one ended; if MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK, at the next erase block.
+ * mask_flags: contains flags that have to be masked (removed) from the 
+ * 	master MTD flag set for the corresponding MTD partition.
+ * 	For example, to force a read-only partition, simply adding 
+ * 	MTD_WRITEABLE to the mask_flags will do the trick.
+ *
+ * Note: writeable partitions require their size and offset be 
+ * erasesize aligned (e.g. use MTDPART_OFS_NEXTBLK).
