-stable: Linux 2.6.17.14

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the
2.6.17.14 kernel.

Unless something major comes up, this is the last release of the
2.6.17 kernel branch.

I’ll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch
between 2.6.17.13 and 2.6.17.14, as it is small enough to do
so.

The updated 2.6.17.y git tree can be found at:
      
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.17.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
       www.kernel.org/git/

thanks,

greg k-h
