[ANNOUNCE] 2.4.19-pre5-ac3-s45

[Paul P Komkoff Jr <i@stingr.net>]

I recently updated -stingr series kernel to version s45. This will add a
couple of wli's hashes, parts from -aa tree, large (>2G) file support to
smbfs, and Ingo's irqrate.

This is currently installed on my proxy server and now I have CPU usage
reduced from excessive to reasonable value (50%). I believe credits for this
improvements should go to wli.
