Changes from 1.3.55 to 1.3.56

I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel
patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone,
but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the
patches themselves. The patch file is patch-1.3.56.gz
These are from mec@treflan.shout.net (Michael Chastain)
[he might not want to answer questions about Linux either :) -russ]
- alpha/kernel/process.c: initialize mm context.
- fs/buffer.c: change 'generic_readpage'.
- fs/namei.c: in 'sys_link', call 'lnamei' instead of 'namei'.
- mm/filemap.c: change page-caching code.
