Calling all firmware testers.

Please download and test the Q2D05 firmware release candidate.

http://dev.laptop.org/~wmb/q2d04m.rom

Most you you should see no difference.  We just fixed a lot of trac 
tickets.

Please install it and go about your normal daily stuff and tell us if 
anything breaks.

Thanks.

=====================================
Important changes log from D04:

EC:
- Blink Power light on suspend
- SCI "Danger Zone" protection. Protection from SCI related Trac 
1835[ab] hangs.

OFW:
- OLPC Trac 5128 - Set RTC alarm day, alarm month, and century offset 
MSRs, and set century byte to 20.
- OLPC trac 5029 - Fixed a problem that caused files written from OFW to 
be 0x400 bytes too short in certain cases.
- OLPC trac 5022 - Fixed FAT size determination code in the face of
crazy media type values, using Microsoft's recommended algorithm
for determining whether to use FAT-12, FAT-16, or FAT-32.
- OLPC trac #4982 - Discard cached JFFS2 scan info if the data changes
on the NAND FLASH, so JFFS2 operations work correctly after copy-nand.
Also added a couple of JFFS2 debugging tools - .dirinum and .finum ;
nothing calls them.  They display the nodes for a given inum.
- OLPC trac 4981 - don't hang indefinitely if the suspend sequence fails
to power down the CPU.
- OLPC trac 4980 - fixed scan-nand display formatting glitches, and
added rocker-up to invoke scan-nand in secure mode.
- OLPC trac 4898 - fixed handling of deleted files.
- OLPC Trac 4898 - support . and .. in pathnames on JFFS2.

WLAN:
- Contains 5.110.20.p4.bin
Tries to fix OLPC Trac 4470 and other nand/firmware updates via network 
issues.  Note the os build uses its own copy of the firmware so this 
won't fix any WLAN bugs in the build.
