==== diff-ms-hpetrtc-20050709 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from mainstream:<br/>
Some systems like:
* Dell Poweredge 1800/1850/SC420
* Dell Precision 370/670
* Dell Optiplex
* Dell Dimension 4700
* Dell GX280
are known to hang in rtc_read() due to broken RTC,
when HPET and RTC are used together.

So, have to configure HPET_EMULATE_RTC to have RTC working.

==== diff-security-iptoverfl-20051014 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Pavel:<br/>
This patch fixes security issues found by Solar Designer:

The bug I've triggered in practice is the first instance of
ipt_table_info_alloc() and its corresponding copy_from_user().  To
trigger the overflow on addition, tmp.size may be set to 0xffffffff
such that SMP_ALIGN(tmp.size) would be 0.
