Another week, another -rc. This one looks more normal than rc4, inthat drivers are back to the more usual 60+%. Probably because there'sa networking pull in here, which rc4 didn't have.The diffstat also looks uglier, because while *most* of it is nice andsmall, the printk fixes do stand out a bit. But it was a realregression from 3.4, so it's not like it's questionable. UDF also gotmore careful about corrupted filesystems at mount-time, and that alsoshows in the diffstat, but that's at least partly because some of thechecks were cleaned up an dmoved to a helper function while makingthem more complete. So the actual change is smaller than it looks.So nothing really worrisome in here. Despite the networking merge(which tends to be fairly big), -rc5 is a smaller patch than -rc4 was,even if there are a couple more commits in there. So things seem to begoing in the right direction.So: networking updates, media fixes, some small arch updates (x86,arm, ppc), and some random noise.Let me (and lkml) know if you have any pending regressions.
