We've finally hopefully started to put a dent in the regressions, 
especially the suspend/resume problems introduced since 2.6.20.

So 2.6.21-rc3 is out there now, and there's some hope that it will work 
more widely than -rc1 and -rc2 did. Please do give it a good testing, and 
update Adrian and the mailing list (and me) about any regressions 
(hopefully many more of the "it's fixed now" than other kinds, but all 
regressions are interesting).

The appended shortlog gives a reasonable overview. In general we're 
definitely calming down, and most of the changes are fairly small and 
obvious fixes. 

Let's keep the fixes to a minimum, especially since I'm planning on biting 
peoples heads off if I get any more pull requests for things that aren't 
real and obvious fixes.
