Notes:
This release finishes off the 2.2.20 up-ports to the linux/net/, linux/ipc/ and linux/scripts/ directories. See the changelog for full details on bug fixes and new features.
This update includes a separate patch file as well to add ext3 journalling support to the Playstation 2 Linux kernel. Ext3 support (and journalling support in general) was not included in the xr4 kernel because it is still considered to be experimental in the mainstream 2.2.x. EXT3 support will be fully rolled in when we make the transition to the 2.4.x or 2.6.x series kernels.
