It's Sunday afternoon, and everything is normal. And that means thatthere's a new rc release right on time.It's slightly bigger than I'd like, but not excessively so (and notunusually so). Most of the patches are pretty small, although the diffis utterly dominated by the (big) removal a couple of staging rdmadrivers that just weren't going anywhere. Those removal patches are90% of the bulk of the diff.Of the remaining 10%, the rest is still mostly drivers (networking,gpu, sound, usb), with the rest being miscellaneous other stuff (corenetworking, some VM fixes from Andrew, ARM SoC fixes, crypto etc).So it may not be a tiny rc, but there is also nothing particularlyworrisome in there.Shortlog appended for people who want to get more of a detail overview,                 Linus
