ANNOUNCE: Kernel patch 0.0.14

[Patrick Caulfield <patrick@pandh.demon.co.uk>]

As my present to you in this year of the bug: a new kernel patch for Linux 2.2.

The main reason for this is to get a clean patch against 2.2.14 but I've added 
the ability to configure it using module parameters instead on using startnet.

The reasons for this are partly personal in that I've been getting Kernel
Oopses from startnet for ages and (not being a kernel hacker) I haven't a clue
why. So, in the true hacker tradition, I avoided the problem and fixed the
symptom ;-)

To use this you simply insert the module with the two parameters "node" and
"device" eg:

insmod decnet node=2,234 device=eth0

starts DECnet as node 2.234 (note the comma!) on device eth0.

If the parameters are omitted you can use startnet as normal. This ONLY
works if you compile DECnet as a module, not if it is part of the kernel.

Contrary to my previous threats I've left dapfs in the patch. I still cling
to the hope that someone will take it over one day.
