	There is some bad blood right now about the min()/max() macros. Linus
made a controversial change to the macros that Alan Cox says he _will not_
merge in its present form. Thus, 2.4-linus now has the three-arg min()/max(),
and 2.4-alan has the two-arg min()/max() macro. Go have a look at the min()/
max() threads in the lkml archives.
