[PATCH] Small patches to Configure.help for Alpha
Rich Payne (API) and I have made a patch for Documentation/Configure.help to add some more systems to the list of Alphas. Since the original list was compiled, some of the newer system types were added, but not all. Also, the list wasn't as inclusive as it should've been (we've been getting emails saying "which type of system is xxx?"). It also changes some information regarding SRM, etc, to modernise it a bit. Multias are no longer the majority of Alphas out there ;-) At any rate, this patch is against 2.4.0-test11-pre1. I'll send a similar patch for Alan against the 2.2.18pre series. Thanks!

I'll apply the patch and see where the next breakage is :-P I believe there was a problem in the netfilter code (net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_REJECT.c, lines 67-68) with the selection of which xchg() to use (either __xchg_u32() or __xchg_u64()as detailed in include/asm-alpha/system.h) since it's apparently trying to use __xchg_called_with_bad_pointer(), which is undefined on purpose. So either something's not getting called properly or the detection is messed up (still have to look into it).
