So here's rc7, because while things were really quiet there for awhile, it nefer got *so* quiet that I would decide that there's nopoint to making the traditional last rc.  But this is it, unlesssomething surprising happens..There's nothing particularly odd in here, and the appended shortlog issmall enough to skim and get an overview of the details from. It'smostly small driver fixes and some even smaller arch updates. Add somenetworking, a couple of core fs and kernel fixes, and that's prettymuch it.Nothing particularly scary, and the more people who test this out, themore confident we can be that the final 4.6 is all good. So pleasetake a moment to try it out,                Linus
