So this is later on a Sunday than my usual schedule, because I justcouldn't make up my mind whether I should do another rc8 or not, andkept just waffling about it. In the end, I obviously decided not to,but it could have gone either way.We did have one nasty regression that got fixed yesterday, and thenetworking pull early in the week was larger than I would have wishedfor. But the block layer should be all good now, and David wentthrough all his networking commits an extra time just to make me feelcomfy about it, soAnd on the whole, everything here is pretty small. The diffstat looksa bit larger for an xfs fix, because that fix has three cleanuprefactoring patches that precedes it. And there's a access typepattern fix in the sound layer that generated lots of noise, but isall very simple in the end.In addition to the above, there's random small fixes all over -shortlog appended for people who want to skim the details as usual.Go test, and obviously with 4.5 released, I'll start the merge window for 4.6.
