So rc5 is almost exactly the same size as rc4 was. I'd be happier ifthe rc's were shrinking, but I guess I should be thankful they atleast don't seem to be growing.There's nothing particularly worrisome going on, although I'm stilltrying to think about the NUMA balancing performance regression. Itmay not be a show-stopper, but it's annoying, and I want it fixed.We'll get it, I'm sure.In the meantime, rc5 is mostly driver updates (all over the drivertree: gpu, usb, sound, networking, hid, input, pinctrl, etc etc) witha few arch updates (x86, arm, arm64, sparc) and some filesystem fixes(mainly btrfs). And a smattering of non-driver networking fixes too.Shortlog appended, although it's not particularly interesting. Most ofthe bigger patches were reverts, which is as it should be at thisstage.
