“Since Linus Torvalds has been on the road this week,
there have been no changes to the main development branch in the
past few days. However, numerous developers have already sent
emails to the LKML, asking the father of Linux to merge
corrections. As the number of bug fixes increases, so does the
likelihood that Torvalds will throw in another release candidate of
2.6.32 when he returns – when releasing Rc8, the father of
Linux had still hoped this might be the last release candidate.

“Therefore, the Kernel Log will wrap up its report about the new
features of 2.6.32 with parts 5 and 6. This issue discusses the
changes in terms of architecture code, memory management,
virtualisation and tracing in the penultimate part of its “Coming
in 2.6.32″ series. The previous four parts of the series discussed
the advancements in the network subsystem as well as those in the
fields of graphics hardware, storage hardware, filesystems and
further drivers.”
