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!

[NETLINK]: Generic netlink family The generic netlink family builds on top of netlink and provides simplifies access for the less demanding netlink users. It solves the problem of protocol numbers running out by introducing a so called controller taking care of id management and name resolving. Generic netlink modules register themself after filling out their id card (struct genl_family), after successful registration the modules are able to register callbacks to command numbers by filling out a struct genl_ops and calling genl_register_op(). The registered callbacks are invoked with attributes parsed making life of simple modules a lot easier. Although generic netlink modules can request static identifiers, it is recommended to use GENL_ID_GENERATE and to let the controller assign a unique identifier to the module. Userspace applications will then ask the controller and lookup the idenfier by the module name. Due to the current multicast implementation of netlink, the number of generic netlink modules is restricted to 1024 to avoid wasting memory for the per socket multiacst subscription bitmask.
