-stable: Linux 2.6.17.7

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.17.7
kernel.

I’ll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch
between 2.6.17.6 and 2.6.17.7, 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,
