. Lots of little fixes.
. Dropped the patch which allocates each CPU's per-cpu memory separately.
That's over in experimental/ and has been reworked to use alloc_pages_node(),
if anyone's interested.
. Badari has redone the patch which permits finer-than-fs-blocksize
direct IO.
. Patch from Rusty permits NR_CPUS > sizeof(unsigned long)*8.
. An enormous patch from Adam Richter against the loop driver. It needs
work, but let's get that under test.
. Added Ingo's put-page-offset-into-ptes-for-mmap patch. That's ia32-only
at present so I've uploaded a 2.5.44-mm3-non-ia32.gz rollup as well,
which doesn't have that one.
. Update to the patch management scripts is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/patch-scripts-0.2/
This includes a new command "pstatus" from Stephen Cameron which
provides a status summary of all your patches.
User testimonials include "neat", "it encourages you to make
fine-grained patches" and "I made 30 patches and almost all of
them were merged!".
