Updated kernel packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 1

Updated kernel packages are now available as part of ongoing support and
maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5. This is the first
regular update.

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. This
is the first regular kernel update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Feature updates:
* Applied several enhancements to GFS2 (technology preview feature), which
require a change to the on-disk file system format.
* Added the firewire-sbp2 module as a technology preview to enable
connectivity with FireWire devices.
* Added the devicescape stack (mac80211) to enable the iwlwifi 4965GN
wireless driver. This stack allows certain wireless devices to connect to
any WiFi network. At present, this stack is presented as a technology preview.
* iSCSI installation and boot is now fully supported.
* The EXT3 file system now has a maximum capacity of 16TB.
* Fixed ext2 overflows on file systems greater than 8TB.

Virtualization-related changes:
* The virtualized kernel can now use the kdump function.
* Virtualization is now fully supported on ia64 architectures.
* Added support for AMD-V domain live migration.
* Enabled Xen booting on machines with over 64G of RAM.
* Xen upgraded to version 3.1.

Generic kernel updates:
* Added support for LSPP certification.
* Added replication and migration support for NFSv4 referrals.
* Updated CIFS to version 1.48aRH.
* Added support for shared page table for hugetlb pages.
* Added MODULE_FIRMWARE support.
* Expanded the in-kernel socket API.

version of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 release notes on:
