Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.15-rc6

Ok,
there it is.

Slightly delayed by me being away for a week, and now Andrew is gone, but looking at the changes, they all seem to be pretty trivial, so we're on well track for doing the final 2.6.15 this year, I think. People have probably already started over-feeding with the holidays just around the corner.

The shortlog really says it all. Apart from some sparse annotations from Al, it's all random small things. But do give it a try, because Santa Claus has his CIA spooks checking y'all out, and naughty people don't get any of the loot.
