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!

+ * arch/alpha/lib/ev67-strcat.S
+ * 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
+ *
+ * Append a null-terminated string from SRC to DST.
+ *
+ * Much of the information about 21264 scheduling/coding comes from:
+ *	Compiler Writer's Guide for the Alpha 21264
+ *	abbreviated as 'CWG' in other comments here
+ *	ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/dsc-library.html
+ * Scheduling notation:
+ *	E	- either cluster
+ *	U	- upper subcluster; U0 - subcluster U0; U1 - subcluster U1
+ *	L	- lower subcluster; L0 - subcluster L0; L1 - subcluster L1
+ * Try not to change the actual algorithm if possible for consistency.
+ * Commentary: It seems bogus to walk the input string twice - once
+ * to determine the length, and then again while doing the copy.
+ * A significant (future) enhancement would be to only read the input
+ * string once.
