Hmmm.. Lots of small fixes, some cleanups, and a few things like the cris

updates that aren't really either, but which won't affect any normal user,

and will hopefully make it easier to sync up in the future.
Network driver fixes, some IDE and infiniband updates, some late cpufreq

updates, and a hwmon update.
On the architecture side, in addition to the afore-mentioned cris updates,

there are some sh, arm, powerpc and mips updates, and also one final x86

unification cleanup (and I really mean it - the rest can wait until after

2.6.24, but with this one the x86 configuration really is fairly merged,

and both i386 and x86_64 are really just special cases of the "x86"

architecture in the configurator).
And cifs and ocfs2 filesystem updates to round it all up.
Nothing really exciting. A few things got reverted due to regressions, and

in general hopefully the regression counts are starting to shrink.
Go get it, and test it.

I gav 2.6.24 a first try and "make targz-pkg" fails on i386:
/bin/sh /home/erik/git/linux-2.6/scripts/package/buildtar targz-pkg

Makefile:119: *** Output directory (O=3D...) specifies kernel src dir.  Sto=

p.

make[1]: *** [targz-pkg] Error 2

make: *** [targz-pkg] Error 2

They're all fools. Don't worry. Darwin may be slow, but he'll

eventually get them. -- Matthew Lammers in alt.sysadmin.recovery

Yes, they are.
Speaking of which, would you mind merging the patch at:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/1/246
To my eyes it's a regression fix, but no one has been pushing it upstream.

There are three patches which affect that kernel function.  One is in

git-x86 and the other two are in -mm.  I sent #2 and #3 to Thomas today

and he's getting it all sorted out.

FYI, Thomas sent out the git pull request for this (and other) fixes an

hour ago.
