Another Sunday, another rc release.Normally rc7 tends to be the last rc release, and there's not a lotgoing on to really merit anything else this time around. However, wedo still have some pending regressions, and as mentioned last week Ialso have my yearly family vacation coming up, so we'll have an rc8and an extra week before 4.1 actually gets released.It's been quieting down nicely, though, and rc7 is certainly worthtesting out to verify that it all works for you. Because this ispretty darn close to final, and it should be safe to test. The changesthat have come in the last week are all pretty small, the appendedshortlog should give you a flavor of what's going on. A lot of it isone-liners, with a few slightly bigger patches to some architecturefiles (x86 perf constraints, some sparc updates) and staging drivers.                Linus
