Linux 2.5.31

Hmm. I've switched home machines this week, and people have been
reasonably busy, so there is most likely a lot of dropped stuff.

There's a lot of merged stuff too, including various architectures getting
up to speed with all the big changes (tlb and irq etc, and rmk is
apparently trying to shrink his arm patch). Sparc64, alpha, ppc32, ARM..

The series of patches from Al Viro should fix a semaphore deadlock when
partition reading was triggered while a new device was opened, and lay the
groundwork for more disk description cleanups.

NTFS, JFS, driverfs and networking updates. USB, ISDN and network driver
updates, partial merge with akpm (you've seen the discussions about some
of the stuff dropped) etc. And let's see how much fallout there is from
the 30-bit pids etc.

============================================

<aaron.baranoff@tsc.tdk.com>:

o [ARM PATCH] 1215/1: Vector relocation not being disabled at reset
This patch solves the problem of soft reboots on Iq80310, IQ80321,
and BRH platforms. The problem was that during the RedBoot PCI
scan, we were getting data aborts due to non-existent PCI devices.
It looks like redboot doesn't cleanup after us and turn of vector
relocation, so we were jumping off into nowhere.
