We're getting to the point in the rc series where I start hoping forthings to calm down.5.10 hasn't calmed down yet, and there's a fair amount of small noiseall over the place. Nothing that makes me particularly worried, andhonestly, with about a third of the patch being various selftestupdates and fixes some of that noise is certainly welcome, but I'mhoping next week will start seeing less actual changes.Anyway, if you ignore the Documentation, tooling and selftest changes, about half of this is various minor driver updates (really all overthe place), with the rest being a mix of architecture (arm64 and x86),filesystem fixes, and minor core kernel and vm changes.All looks good, and nothing makes me go "uhhuh, 5.10 looks iffy". Sogo test, let's get this all solid and calmed down, and this willhopefully be one of those regular boring releases even if it'scertainly not been on the smaller side...           Linus
