Andrew Morton: Linux 2.6.11-mm2

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11/2.6.11-mm2/

• UML updates
• fbdev updates
• nfs4 server updates
• new megaraid driver, new iscsi driver, fatfs update, fbdev
  updates, kitchen sink.
• The below description of what has been added and what has been
  merged is probably a bit more inaccurate than usual due to my
  having shuffled things around and confusing myself.
• I dropped the list-of-all-patches from this email due to it
  being rather long. The unexpurgated version is at
  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11/2.6.11-mm2/announce.txt
