Andrew Morton: Linux 2.6.17-rc3-mm1

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.17-rc3/2.6.17-rc3-mm1/

• Added git-rbtree.patch to the -mm lineup (David Woodhouse). It
  shrinks the rb-tree nodes.
• Added git-sas.patch to the -mm lineup (James Bottomley).
  aic94xx serial attached storage driver.
• Added git-supertrak.patch to the -mm lineup (Jeff Garzik). A
  driver for Promise SuperTrak controllers, from Promise.

Boilerplate:

• See the `hot-fixes’ directory for any important updates to this
  patchset.
• To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

  git fetch
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git
  v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

• -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to
  the mm-commits mailing list.

  echo “subscribe mm-commits” | mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org

• If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch
  caused it, it is most valuable if you can perform a bisection
  search to identify which patch introduced the bug. Instructions for
  this process are at

  
  http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

  But beware that this process takes some time (around ten
  rebuilds and reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if
  we cannot immediately identify the faulty patch, then perform the
  bisection search.

• When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer
  and mailing list on any email.
