Things calmed down, and look very normal. About two thirds driver
updates, with half of the remainder being misc architecture updates,
and the rest being random stuff (some fs/crypto fixes etc).
Of course, just minutes after I pushed it out, David sent me the
networking pull request, so there's perhaps a reason why rc6 looks
fairly small. Oh well. I still haven't decided whether we're going to
do an rc8, but I guess I don't have to decide yet. Nothing looks
particularly bad, and it will depend on how rc7 looks.
Shortlog appended - it's small enough to easily scan to get a feel for
what's been going on.
