[PATCH 0/2] Separate out gas-model and use Lubomir's quintic formula

This is what I'd suggest we do for now, while looking at improving the gas 
compressibility in the future.

The first patch just splits out the gas compressibility into a file of its 
own, because this is *so* different from everything else we do.

The second patch leaves the Redlich-Kwong formula in the source tree, but 
replaces the actual use with Lubomir's least-square quintic polynomial 
that matches the Wikipedia table for air at 300K.

The quintic formula may be overkill, but it's really simple to calculate 
and a lot cleaner than my disgusting table lookup.

Linus Torvalds (2):
  gas model: split up gas compressibility into a file of its own
  gas model: replace Redlich-Kwong with least-square quintic
