Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.16-rc5

The tar-ball is being uploaded right now, and everything else
should already be pushed out. Mirroring might take a while, of
course.

There’s not much to say about this: people have been pretty
good, and it’s just a random collection of fixes in various random
areas. The shortlog is actually pretty short, and it really
describes the updates better than anything else.

Have I missed anything? Holler. And please keep reminding about
any regressions since 2.6.15.
