Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.17-rc6

Hey, I lied. -rc5 wasn't the last RC, I wanted to make one more, because we've had enough small changes that I wasn't comfortable _not_ doing one more RC.

Now, most of them are really quite trivial, and the shortlog and diffstat is appended. Some s390 and MIPS changes, but also, for example, some cfq IO scheduler locking and fairness fixes, and a SATA resume fix that is reported to fix resume on at least a couple of machines.
