The world around us may be going through strange times, but at leastso far kernel development looks normal.The bulk this week is - as usual - drivers: gpu, mmc, staging, iio,usb, sound... But there's some VM fixes, some arch updates,documentation and tooling (mostly turbostat).Nothing really stands out, it's all pretty small. I'm going to beoptimistic, and say that it's because we're nicely on track for anormal calm release, but obviously it may be partly because everybodyis distracted by virus worries. But I haven't seen anything that lookshugely worrisome on the kernel side.Go test,               Linus
