14     Description: Kernel patch to support EPOC FATs (like used on Psion PDAs)
15     In the FAT standard the end of the directory file index is marked by 00.
16     All entries after it should be ignored. The current FAT implementation
17     ignores such marked entries, but continues scanning the directory. This
18     is good enough for most FAT implementations, because they also mark all
19     remaining entries after the last with a 00 byte.
20     .
21     The filesystem implementation of EPOC 5 (and probably of newer versions
22     of EPOC) does not clear old entries after the end of the directory file
23     index. This means that without this patch, Linux will show old previously
24     deleted or even never assigned entries.
25     .
26     This package contains patches for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The 2.4 patch has
27     some known issues; the 2.6 kernel patches should always be safe.
