The probably most notable thing here is the anticipatory scheduler,
which has been in -mm for a long time, and was the major piece that
hadn't been merged.
Some architecture updates: cris has been updated for 2.5, ia64 and arm26
updates etc. And various random (smallish) things.

usage of jiffies.h.
Krzysztof Halasa:
o C99 initializers in hdlc_generic.c
Linus Torvalds:
o The sbp2 driver needs <linux/pci.h>, but didn't include it. It
apparently used to work due to some random magic indirect include,
but broke lately.
o Add an asynchronous buffer read-ahead facility. Nobody uses it for
now, but I needed it for some tuning tests, and it is potentially
useful for others.
o Re-organize "ext3_get_inode_loc()" and make it easier to follow by
splitting it into two functions: one that calculates the position,
and the other that actually reads the inode block off the disk.
o Carl-Daniel Hailfinger suggest adding a paranoid incoming trigger
as per the "bk help triggers" suggestion, so that we'll see any new
triggers showing up in the tree.
o Go back to defaulting to 6-byte commands for MODE SENSE, since some
drivers seem to be unhappy about the 10-byte version.
o When forcing through a signal for some thread-synchronous event (ie
SIGSEGV, SIGFPE etc that happens as a result of a trap as opposed
to an external event), if the signal is blocked we will not invoce
a signal handler, we will just kill the thread with the signal.
o Simplify and speed up mmap read-around handling
o Fix several broken macros to get the "private" field of a seq-file
in the networking code.
o Avoid deadlocking on thread shutdown after a vfork
o Fix IDE initialization when we don't probe for interrupts
o Make the gcc version checks use the preprocessor symbols
consistently.
o Update CREDITS file and other documentation about my new email
address
o Fix up the IDE irq disable to take into account some

Matthew Wilcox:
o PCI: Improve documentation Fix some grammar problems Add a note
about Fast Back to Back support Change the slot_name recommendation
to pci_name().
o PCI: arch/i386/pci/direct.c can use __init, not __devinit
pci_sanity_check() is only called from functions marked __init, so
it can be __init too.
o PCI: pci_find_bus needs a domain Give pci_find_bus a domain
argument and move its declaration to <linux/pci.h>
o PCI: Remove pci_bus_exists Convert all callers of pci_bus_exists()
to call pci_find_bus() instead.
o PCI: arch/i386/pci/irq.c should use pci_find_bus Use pci_find_bus
rather than relying on the return value of pci_scan_bus.
o PCI: arch/i386/pci/legacy.c: use raw_pci_ops Make
pcibios_fixup_peer_bridges() use raw_pci_ops directly instead of
faking pci_bus and pci_dev.
o PCI config space in sysfs
o Driver Core: fix firmware binary files Fixes the sysfs binary file
bug.
o ia64: Use generic pci_scan_bus()
