After the -stable, -vanilla and -agr kernels were already upgraded to
2.4.29, I have now finished the -grsec and -om kernels too for this kernel
release.

The release adds the usual patches to all kernels with two new features:

* all kernels except -stable and -vanilla receive and updated autofs4 patch

* the OpenMosix patch now includes (optional) mighsm. This allows
processes that rely on shared memory to migrate just as normal processes.
Those processes include apache, mysql etc. (please test and give feedback,
the patch author is awaiting comments and will appreciate people trying
it).

All kernel patches except the -grsec have been tested heavily already. The
-grsec patchset of course is usually stable as it's the official grsec
2.1.3 patch. In any case please be cautious when upgrading kernels, and
report any problems to us.
