A mid-week -rc release to match the mid-week rc2 release. It's justsix days since rc2, but I'm not only making up for the longer -rc2,I'm also on the airport for San Diego, spending a few days therebefore the kernel summit.Also, it's already pretty big, probably because some people held offasking me to pull while I was away, resulting in some pent-up demandfor -rc3.It's a bit over half drivers, with a quarter being arch updates, andthe rest being "random" - mostly networking and filesystems.Shortlog appemded, there's nothing here that makes me go "OMG! Scary!"or makes me want to particularly mention it separately. All justrandom updates and fixes.Go get it,                 Linus
