We're back on a Sunday release schedule, and things are lookingreasonably normal.There's perhaps relatively less driver updates than usual, with mostof them being pretty small, but that is probably just a timing thing(ie Greg didn't send his USB/staging changes this week, so driverchanges are mostly gpu, networking and sound).As a result misc architecture updates (mips, powerpc, x86, arm)dominate the diff, and there are various random other updates. We'vegot filesystem updates (aio, nfs and ocfs2), a small batch of mm fixesfrom Andrew, some networking stuff.etc.The shortlog gives a feel for the changes. The most noticeable toactual users are probably the unbreaking of direct block device readaccesses on 32-bit targets, and some x86 vdso regression fixes thatcaused problems. The rest probably didn't end up affecting very manypeople, but it's all proper fixes..                     Linus
