Linux 4.4 rc7

Christmas is over, and New Year's Eve looms, but there is no rest forkernel developers, and rc7 is out there.[ Looks at actual rc7 patch ]Ok, clearly there _is_ some rest for kernel developers, because rc7 ispretty tiny. I think a third of the patch is from the sparc updates,and those weren't that big either.The rest is other architectures (x86, parisc, mips, arm, arc), drivers(gpu, sound, mtd..) and some build updates. But it is all prettysmall.I expect more of the same for next week, when I'd almost certainlyready to just release the final 4.4, but will probably do an rc8 justto not open the merge window while people are still recovering fromthe holidays.
