2.2.13ac1 is now on kernel.org.

I'm trying to build a sort of plus pack of probably stable stuff not all of
which will ever end up in 2.2 proper. Something else I want to stress here
Not all of it may end up in 2.3.x either nor compatibly. 

The idea is to drop fairly stable blocks of additional support in as a 2.2
extended kernel for those who want the facilities. If you don't need the
extra facilities you should expect 2.2.13 generic to be more stable.

2.2.13ac1 is the first test release of this lot together so it probably
has bugs. Please report them to me not to driver maintainers (except for
the specific whole new features).
