It's been another week, and we have another -rc.It's fairly small, and there were no huge surprises, so if nothinguntoward happens this upcoming week, this will be the final rc. But asusual, I reserve the right to just drag things out if I end up feelinguncomfortable about things for any reason including just random gutfeelings, so we'll see.The appended shortlog is short enough to just scan through, but thehigh-level overview of the patches is fairly normal: the bulk of it isdrivers as usual (gpu and networking may stand out, but there's acollection of random stuff - block, pinctrl, hid, sound, input, scsitarget..) with various arch updates (mainly powerpc, but there's somex86, arm64, s390 and mips noise).Outside of arch and drivers, we've got some generic networking fixes,scripts, and some core kernel fixlets, including a couple of fixups tothe stack gap patch from last rc.But all of it is pretty small. Go test,            Linus
