Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.19-rc6

Ok,
there’s nothing earth-shattering here (and there shouldn’t be), but
we’ve hopefully made good progress on the regression list (and
thanks again to Adrian Bunk for reminding people, especially when
they thought cough that some particular regression had
already been fixed)..

So with -rc6, we hopefully should leave the irq-related
regressions behind us. There were issues both with devices that
started enabling MSI (which seem to trigger hardware bugs, although
there’s also been discussion about what we should do to make things
safer) and with the new genirq layer that showed problems with
edge-triggered irq’s (notably legacy ISA interrupts, or, more
commonly these days, the 16-bit PCMCIA interrupts that are
basically just ISA in another formfactor).

Thanks for everybody involved in whittling down that regression
list.

Also, apart from the regression tracking, we’ve had some other
updates, eg infiniband and DVB fixes, network driver fixes, some
networking fixes etc.

The ShortLog is appended, and gives a mostly readable picture of
what has been going on. But the main thing to take away is:
regressions fixed, and not a whole lot of changes since -rc5 (it
may not look that way, but a lot of these things are essentially
one-liners or close to it, so the total diff between -rc5 and -rc6
is actually just about 5k lines, which is not a whole lot,
considering).
