Changelog

Hmm. I'm making ready to leave for the kernel summit and OLS, and so are
apparently other people - since I was mailbombed by various patches in the
last few days.

However, now it's too late - I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, and
anybody who left their pre-OLS sync this late is just _too_ late.  
Phththhthh..

Big sound merges, NTFS merge, IrDA, IPv6, SCSI drivers, you name it. Rusty
"it's two l's, dammit!" Russell sent in about a million of his trivial
patches, hopefully they got somewhat correctly attributed and merged.

Oh, and IDE 93 should undo the damage of IDE 92.

See you in a week,

                        Linus
