ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5-rc1/2.6.5-rc1-mm2/

  • Dropped the early-x86-cpu-detection patches, as these appear to
    be the source of recent early-crash problems.
  • Several fixes against the new writeback code.
  • Several fixes against the new block unplugging code.

Changes since 2.6.5-rc1-mm1:
