There are two minor typos in skbuff.c -- not fatal, but they might as
well be fixed. (see below) Also, here are some additions to your list.

LANCE driver doesn't grok rev II of PCI chip [fix posted earlier]
Console floods with ip_queue_glue messages when sprayed/attacked.
Console text flash on RHS of screen during scroll [outw vs outb_p]
SCSI won't compile without /proc [posted fix earlier]
Can't "un-choose" old hd driver once selected [posted fix earlier]
Updated ksymoops from A. Rubini that uses /proc/ksyms for modules


Here is the skb patch. There is an unused "flags" in one of the __skb
routines, and somewhere else it is declared without the unsigned. 

Paul.
