Linux-2.5.16

[Linus Torvalds]

[ Testing the shortlog format, full changelogs on the kernel site ]

Well, I dunno if the short changelog format is wonderfully readable, but 
at least it's small enough that I don't feel bad about mailbombing the 
kernel list with it.

USB and architecture updates, IDE driver updates etc. The one that kept me
personally somewhat busy was the interesting Intel SMP-P4 TLB corruption
bug, which ends up being due to some very funky asynchronous speculative
TLB fill logic, which made the page table invalidation "exciting".

The TLB invalidate rewrite will likely have broken all other architectures 
(at least performance-wise, if not in any other way), so architecture 
maintainers look out!
