Linux 4.4 rc5

Another week, another rc.Things have been reasonable quiet, and rc5 looks pretty normal. Therewas a fairly bad core bug that was introduced in rc4 that is now fixedin rc5, but while that is a bit embarrassing, I don't think that manypeople actually ever hit the problem.Other than that small hiccup, things are very normal,.and there reallyare not very many commits, and they are all pretty small to boot.So everything looks fine, and I think we're on track for the usualrelease schedule, which would imply a final 4.4 very early in 2016. Iam inclined to delay that release by a week not because of any releaseproblems, but simply because I know the next few weeks are going to bequiet and most people will want to concentrate on other things thangetting ready for the next merge window.We'll see. I might end up releasing 4.4 on time, and then just delaythe merge window too.Regardless, if you have all your Christmas shopping done, I wouldheartily recommend giving rc5 a whirl in between the eggnogs and thedecorations.  And if you're not celebrating the holidays, you have noexcuse for not testing it all out.
