Ahoy me laddies (and beauties),
 time for the traditional "Talk Like a Pirate Day" kernel release!

Now, last year we had a full release (2.6.18 was immortalized on 
TLAP-2006), but this year I'm chickening out, and we're just doing what is 
hopefully going to be the last -rc release for the 2.6.23 series.

I'm not including the diffstat, because it got blown up by the 
resurrection of the sk98lin driver - because skge that is supposed to 
supplant it doesn't handle some of the hardware. Oh well.

Apart from that, we had some mips, powerpc and xtense updates, and various 
driver tweaks. Things like the USB autosuspend revert should make people 
happier, and some more clockevents fixes should help suspend/restore on 
i386.

But the shortlog probably tells it best.

shut up those:

fs/isofs/namei.c:161: warning: 'offset' may be used uninitialized in this function
fs/isofs/namei.c:161: warning: 'block' may be used uninitialized in this function

By the way, they get overwritten at the end of isofs_find_entry().
