Linux 3.17 rc7 – yes, another rc

So I was really hoping that I could have left rc6 as the last rc andjust releasing 3.17 today, but that was not to be. It's not thatanything particularly scary happened, but quite frankly, things justdidn't calm down as I hoped for.And while my travel schedule would have made it really nice had I beenable to just do a shorter-than-usual release, "convenience" isn'treally part of the release criteria. Oh well.This will likely mean that (barring unforseen circumstances) nextweekend sees the 3.17 release, and then due to travel, I probably willjust delay opening the merge window by a week after that.And I'll be very grumpy if people send me pull requests that I deeminappropriate at this point. I don't think that much of rc7 ended upbeing "spurious", but I do get the feeling that there were people whohad delayed until the last minute that accounts for some of the "notenough slowdown". If I get that feeling next week, I'll be my usualimpolite self, and probably decide that you missed your chance.Anyway. Back to rc7. There's stuff all over here. The i2c part of thepatches stands out a bit because of some code movement, but apart fromthat the diffstat looks pretty calm.  About 60% drivers, with the restbeing a mix of documentation, arch, filesystem and networking. Nothingreally particularly stands out, but it is just bigger than I was happywith doing a release without another rc.              Linus
