It's been a week, time for -rc3!

Nothing particularly stands out here. Lots of small fixes, exemplified
by the series of memory leak fixes in usb serial drivers. Just a lot
of random stuff..

Most of it is drivers (all over: drm, wireless, staging, usb, sound),
but there's a few filesystem updates (nfs, btrfs, ext4), arch updates
(arm, x86 and m68k) and just random stuff. Shortlog appended.

And talking about the shortlog: christ people, some of you need to
change your names. I'm used to there being multiple "David"s and
"Peter"s etc, but there are three different Linus's in just this rc.
People, people, I want to feel like the unique snowflake I am, not
like just another anonymous guy in a crowd.

I'm getting myself a broadsword.

                Linus "there can be only one" Torvalds
