I was out most of today, so this is a few hours later than usual, butthere it is, the normal weekly rc. "Steady progress towards 4.4".The changes look fairly normal: just under 60% driver updates (ofwhich almost half is GPU updates, this time mainly skewed due to somenouveau firmware update patches), about 25% arch updates (mostlyarm[64], but some changes in x86, s390, powerpc, nios, mips, m68k,arc..), and about 10% filesystem updates (mostly btrfs and nfs). Withthe rest being "misc" (mainly header files).The appended shortlog gives some overview of the details. I don'tthink there's anything particularly exciting, although that obviouslydepends on whether some particular issue ended up affecting you ornot. Most of it is pretty tiny random fixups.                  Linus
