Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.14

Ok, it’s finally there.

2.6.14 was delayed twice due to some last-minute bug-reports,
some of which ended up being false alarms (hey, I should be happy,
but it was a bit frustrating)

But hey, the delays – even when perhaps unnecessary – got us to
look at the code and fix some other bugs instead. So it’s all
good.

So special thanks go to Oleg Nesterov and Roland McGrath for
doing some code inspection and fixing and just making the otherwise
frustrating wait for bug resolution more productive ;^p.

Let’s try the 2-week merge window thing again, I think it worked
pretty well despite the delays, and hopefully it will work even
better this time around.

The actual changes from 2.6.14-rc5 are a number of mostly
one-liners, with the ShortLog appended (full log from 2.6.13 on the
normal sites together with the release itself). The only slightly
bigger ones (ie more than a handful of lines) is a kernel parameter
doc update, and the PIIX4 PCI quirk printouts, and the
cleanups/fixes for the posix cpu timers.

(In fact, according to diffstat, about half the diff is that one
documentation update, and most of that is whitespace cleanups)
