Linux 4.4 rc6

Things remain fairly normal. Last week rc5 was very small indeed, this
week we have a slightly bigger rc6. The main difference is that rc6
had a network pull in it.

But rc6 is still pretty small, and the patch looks pretty normal: just
over 60% drivers, 16% core networking, 13% architecture updates, and
10% "misc" (documentation, header files, some small filesystem updates
etc). Small stuff all around - you can see the appended shortlog for a
flavor of what is going on.

I'd expect (and hope) that with the holidays next week should continue
being quiet.

And maybe I can hope that people take the downtime to play with their
hardware and test out the most recent kernel version?
