Full Changelog

Tons of small fixes all around the tree.

There's an optimized assembly AES implementation for x86 (from Brian Gladman), and a number of driver updates, all of which are reasonably minor.

It would be good if people only sent serious stuff for a while, and we can do a real 2.6.8, ok?
