Ok. This is it. We (Andrew and me) are going to start a "pre-2.6" series,
where getting patches in is going to be a lot harder. This is the last
2.5.x kernel, so take note.
The probably most notable thing here is the anticipatory scheduler,
which has been in -mm for a long time, and was the major piece that
hadn't been merged.
Some architecture updates: cris has been updated for 2.5, ia64 and arm26
updates etc. And various random (smallish) things.

Krzysztof Halasa:
C99 initializers in hdlc_generic.c
Linus Torvalds:
The sbp2 driver needs <linux/pci.h>, but didn't include it. It
apparently used to work due to some random magic indirect include,
but broke lately.
Add an asynchronous buffer read-ahead facility. Nobody uses it for
now, but I needed it for some tuning tests, and it is potentially
useful for others.
Re-organize "ext3_get_inode_loc()" and make it easier to follow by
splitting it into two functions: one that calculates the position,
and the other that actually reads the inode block off the disk.
Carl-Daniel Hailfinger suggest adding a paranoid incoming trigger
as per the "bk help triggers" suggestion, so that we'll see any new
triggers showing up in the tree.
Go back to defaulting to 6-byte commands for MODE SENSE, since some
drivers seem to be unhappy about the 10-byte version.
When forcing through a signal for some thread-synchronous event (ie
SIGSEGV, SIGFPE etc that happens as a result of a trap as opposed
to an external event), if the signal is blocked we will not invoce
a signal handler, we will just kill the thread with the signal.
Simplify and speed up mmap read-around handling
Fix several broken macros to get the "private" field of a seq-file
in the networking code.
Avoid deadlocking on thread shutdown after a vfork
Fix IDE initialization when we don't probe for interrupts
Make the gcc version checks use the preprocessor symbols
consistently.
Update CREDITS file and other documentation about my new email
address
Fix up the IDE irq disable to take into account some
Fix mailer-induced corruption in initramfs build rules

Martin Hicks:

Matthew Wilcox:
PCI: Improve documentation Fix some grammar problems Add a note
about Fast Back to Back support Change the slot_name recommendation
to pci_name().
PCI: arch/i386/pci/direct.c can use __init, not __devinit
pci_sanity_check() is only called from functions marked __init, so
it can be __init too.
PCI: pci_findbus needs a domain Give pcifind_bus a domain
argument and move its declaration to <linux/pci.h>
PCI: Remove pci_busexists Convert all callers of pcibus_exists()
to call pci_find_bus() instead.
PCI: arch/i386/pci/irq.c should use pci_findbus Use pcifind_bus
rather than relying on the return value of pci_scan_bus.
PCI: arch/i386/pci/legacy.c: use raw_pci_ops Make
pcibios_fixup_peer_bridges() use raw_pci_ops directly instead of
faking pci_bus and pci_dev.
