Description of Problem: Attached is small archive with "trivial" patches for Alpha kernel. They apply to kernels from beta, and rawhide, and a number of other as well. :-) Here are short description: math-emu.patch - a correction for denormalized numbers lifted from current 2.4.19-pre memsetS.patch - an obvious typo in an assembler directive mga_drv.patch - kills few hundreds spurious warnings and simplifies production code (the patch is valid does not matter how types in question are defined for a given platform). nr_syscalls.patch - bad define on the top of entry.S (try 'grep quad...'). Actually for the last one the current 2.4.19-pre includes also a compile time check because this number _is_ changing. The above does not mean that there are no other problems in Alpha kernels (they are there and some are pretty severe :-).
