We're on the usual Sunday schedule, and -rc2 is out there. As has beenthe trend for a while now, rc2 tends to be reasonably small, probablybecause it takes a while for regression reports to start trickling in(and some people probably actively wait for rc2 to even start testing- you scaredy-cats, you).Anyway, things are looking fairly normal. There's some noise all overthe tree due to the irq flow-handler cleanup that removed theredundant irq number argument.  But apart from that one-time thing,things are looking fairly calm and small - let's see whether thatcontinues. Knock wood.Anyway, it's the usual mix of architecture and driver fixes, with asmattering of other stuff (the perf tooling updates stand out, forexample).  I don't think there's anything particularly alarming, theappended shortlog gives the fairly boring details.So if somebody didn't dare update right after the merge window closed,jump right in. We need people to test and report,                      Linus
