Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.14-rc2

Ahoy landlubbers!

Here be t’ Linux-2.6.14-rc2 release.

Not a whole lot o’ excitement, ye scurvy dogs, but it has t’
ALSA, LSM, audit and watchdog merges that be missed from -rc1, and
a merge series with Andrew. But on t’ whole pretty reasonable–you
can see t’ details in the shortlog (appended).

Arrr!
