Full Changelog

Some more architecture updates, and a few fixes for silly broken stuff in -rc3. And an ALSA update.

And I'll be offline for a week, so have fun with this, and if you get the shakes because you want to compile a new kernel every day, there's always the -mm tree to play with while I'm gone..
