Things continue to be calm, and in fact have gotten progressivelycalmer. All of which makes me really happy, although my suspiciousnature looks for things to blame. Are people just on their bestbehavior because the Kernel Summit is imminent, and everybody isputting their best foot forward?Or maybe this just ended up being one of those rare painless releaseswhen nothing bad happens.That would be lovely.Whatever the reason, there is nothing odd or scary going on, and theappended shortlog is nice and short. Almost all of it is drivers, withinfiniband and gpu patches being most noticeable. But even there, thebiggest patch by far is just a copyright message clarification ininfiniband, which by itself is almost a third of the whole patch.Because the rest is really pretty small.Aside from the driver fixes, there's a few smallish arch updates (thebulk of which are a few x86 kvm fixes for SMM emulation, but eventhose are by no means large). And a couple of mm oneliners.Everything looks really good, in other words.  Knock wood.              Linus
