Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+config	IP_VS
+	tristate "IP virtual server support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+	depends on INET && NETFILTER
+	---help---
+	  IP Virtual Server support will let you build a high-performance
+	  virtual server based on cluster of two or more real servers. This
+	  option must be enabled for at least one of the clustered computers
+	  that will take care of intercepting incoming connections to a
+	  single IP address and scheduling them to real servers.
+
+	  Three request dispatching techniques are implemented, they are
+	  virtual server via NAT, virtual server via tunneling and virtual
+	  server via direct routing. The several scheduling algorithms can
+	  be used to choose which server the connection is directed to,
+	  thus load balancing can be achieved among the servers.  For more
+	  information and its administration program, please visit the
+	  following URL: <http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/>.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+config	IP_VS_DEBUG
+	bool "IP virtual server debugging"
+	depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  Say Y here if you want to get additional messages useful in
+	  debugging the IP virtual server code. You can change the debug
+	  level in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/vs/debug_level
+
+config	IP_VS_TAB_BITS
+	int "IPVS connection table size (the Nth power of 2)"
+	depends on IP_VS 
+	default "12" 
+	---help---
+	  The IPVS connection hash table uses the chaining scheme to handle
+	  hash collisions. Using a big IPVS connection hash table will greatly
+	  reduce conflicts when there are hundreds of thousands of connections
+	  in the hash table.
+
+	  Note the table size must be power of 2. The table size will be the
+	  value of 2 to the your input number power. The number to choose is
+	  from 8 to 20, the default number is 12, which means the table size
+	  is 4096. Don't input the number too small, otherwise you will lose
+	  performance on it. You can adapt the table size yourself, according
+	  to your virtual server application. It is good to set the table size
+	  not far less than the number of connections per second multiplying
+	  average lasting time of connection in the table.  For example, your
+	  virtual server gets 200 connections per second, the connection lasts
+	  for 200 seconds in average in the connection table, the table size
+	  should be not far less than 200x200, it is good to set the table
+	  size 32768 (2**15).
+
+	  Another note that each connection occupies 128 bytes effectively and
+	  each hash entry uses 8 bytes, so you can estimate how much memory is
+	  needed for your box.

+comment "IPVS scheduler"
+        depends on IP_VS
+
+config	IP_VS_RR
+	tristate "round-robin scheduling"
+	depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The robin-robin scheduling algorithm simply directs network
+	  connections to different real servers in a round-robin manner.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+ 
+config	IP_VS_WRR
+        tristate "weighted round-robin scheduling" 
+	depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The weighted robin-robin scheduling algorithm directs network
+	  connections to different real servers based on server weights
+	  in a round-robin manner. Servers with higher weights receive
+	  new connections first than those with less weights, and servers
+	  with higher weights get more connections than those with less
+	  weights and servers with equal weights get equal connections.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+config	IP_VS_LC
+        tristate "least-connection scheduling"
+        depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The least-connection scheduling algorithm directs network
+	  connections to the server with the least number of active 
+	  connections.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+config	IP_VS_WLC
+        tristate "weighted least-connection scheduling"
+        depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The weighted least-connection scheduling algorithm directs network
+	  connections to the server with the least active connections
+	  normalized by the server weight.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+config	IP_VS_LBLC
+	tristate "locality-based least-connection scheduling"
+        depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The locality-based least-connection scheduling algorithm is for
+	  destination IP load balancing. It is usually used in cache cluster.
+	  This algorithm usually directs packet destined for an IP address to
+	  its server if the server is alive and under load. If the server is
+	  overloaded (its active connection numbers is larger than its weight)
+	  and there is a server in its half load, then allocate the weighted
+	  least-connection server to this IP address.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+config  IP_VS_LBLCR
+	tristate "locality-based least-connection with replication scheduling"
+        depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The locality-based least-connection with replication scheduling
+	  algorithm is also for destination IP load balancing. It is 
+	  usually used in cache cluster. It differs from the LBLC scheduling
+	  as follows: the load balancer maintains mappings from a target
+	  to a set of server nodes that can serve the target. Requests for
+	  a target are assigned to the least-connection node in the target's
+	  server set. If all the node in the server set are over loaded,
+	  it picks up a least-connection node in the cluster and adds it
+	  in the sever set for the target. If the server set has not been
+	  modified for the specified time, the most loaded node is removed
+	  from the server set, in order to avoid high degree of replication.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+config	IP_VS_DH
+	tristate "destination hashing scheduling"
+        depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The destination hashing scheduling algorithm assigns network
+	  connections to the servers through looking up a statically assigned
+	  hash table by their destination IP addresses.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+config	IP_VS_SH
+	tristate "source hashing scheduling"
+        depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The source hashing scheduling algorithm assigns network
+	  connections to the servers through looking up a statically assigned
+	  hash table by their source IP addresses.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+config	IP_VS_SED
+	tristate "shortest expected delay scheduling"
+        depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The shortest expected delay scheduling algorithm assigns network
+	  connections to the server with the shortest expected delay. The 
+	  expected delay that the job will experience is (Ci + 1) / Ui if 
+	  sent to the ith server, in which Ci is the number of connections
+	  on the the ith server and Ui is the fixed service rate (weight)
+	  of the ith server.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+config	IP_VS_NQ
+	tristate "never queue scheduling"
+        depends on IP_VS
+	---help---
+	  The never queue scheduling algorithm adopts a two-speed model.
+	  When there is an idle server available, the job will be sent to
+	  the idle server, instead of waiting for a fast one. When there
+	  is no idle server available, the job will be sent to the server
+	  that minimize its expected delay (The Shortest Expected Delay
+	  scheduling algorithm).
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
+
+comment 'IPVS application helper'
+	depends on IP_VS
+
+config	IP_VS_FTP
+  	tristate "FTP protocol helper"
+        depends on IP_VS && IP_VS_PROTO_TCP
+	---help---
+	  FTP is a protocol that transfers IP address and/or port number in
+	  the payload. In the virtual server via Network Address Translation,
+	  the IP address and port number of real servers cannot be sent to
+	  clients in ftp connections directly, so FTP protocol helper is
+	  required for tracking the connection and mangling it back to that of
+	  virtual service.
+
+	  If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
+	  module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
