This is the patches I have in my pending/twiddled with pile at the moment.
I'll also send bits of this off to Linus

Whats different

o       Ramfs allows size limiting (very handy when fiddling with PDA's)

o       Build ACPI if you have ACPI but no interpreter

o       Fix incorrect runtime panics in some scsi drivers
o       Fix HZ in the aha152x driver
o       Remove escaped and dead check for I2O in megaraid
o       Fix i810 audio driver
o       Fix cramfs initrd data loss bug
o       Fix power management locking
o       Fix resource printks that only print 4 digits
