Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.13-rc7

Hullo.

I really wanted to release a 2.6.13, but there’s been enough
changes while we’ve been waiting for other issues to resolve that I
think it’s best to do a -rc7 first.

Most of the -rc7 changes are pretty trivial, either one-liners
or affecting some particular specific driver or unusual
configuration. The shortlog (appended) should give a pretty good
idea of what’s up.
