Lots of tiny fixes here. I think the biggest (in lines) change is thefixup of the kmsg_dump() functionality that got broken due to the newrecord-oriented kernel message stuff. And even that really isn't allthat big. The other one that stands out in pure number of lines is theXFS 'struct log' rename patch (which also did a couple of trivialwhitespace changes).So while we still have 200+ commits in this -rc, they really are allpretty tiny and insignificant. Sure, if the particular issue theyfixed hit you (or you are the developer of those life-changing lines;), you may disagree with the "insignificant" part, but to me, this isjust how I like the -rc's at this point.
