linux 2.6.8 for s390

The linux 2.6.8 kernel image for s390 got accepted.

This images are built with initrd enabled. This makes it possible to IPL
via zfcp but you have to specify the options for dasd and/or zfcp in
/etc/modprobe.d.

Also there is currently nothing to configure the network devices via
sysfs, this have to be done by hand. A short example:
| echo 0.0.7000,0.0.7001 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/ctc/group  
| echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/devices/0.0.7000/online  

I may try to get them into testing.
