Linux 2.0.40-rc7

Linux 2.0.40-rc7

Well, lets pretend, like many times before, that this really is the
last release candidate for the 2.0.40-kernel.  I won't bother with
excusing myself for being late (bordering on the extreme) with this
release.  Better late than never.

    does not support MCA
o   Change my e-mail address to                (David Weinehall)
    tao@kernel.org; since I have such
