Ok, I think I'm getting close to releasing a real 2.6.23. Things seem to
have calmed down, and I think Thomas Gleixner may have found the
suspend/resume regression that has dogged us for a while, so I'm feeling
happy about things.Of course, me feeling happy is usually immediately followed by some nasty
person finding new problems, but I'll just ignore that and enjoy the
feeling anyway, however fleeting it may be.The shortlog really is pretty short, and I'm appending the diffstat at the
end too in case anybody cares, but basically it's just a number of fairly
small but real fixes, with some support for a few new chips to the sky2
network driver..In fact, much of the diffstat is some documentation updates and that sky2
update. The rest tends to be a few lines, as you can tell..Linus

[x86 setup] Present the canonical video mode number to the kern...
I don't want to be the "nasty" person, but one of my machines doesn't
like 2.6.23-rc8. Infact, 2.6.23-rc1 was the first kernel this is broken.
(I didn't get hands on this machine till now).Since my other x86-64 machines are doing fine, I am going to blame it
on my machine specific config :)Thanks,

Increase VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET for ancient binutils
For some reason old binutils genertate larger headers so
increase the text offset of the vdso to avoid linker errors.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

Yep. Thats what I did earlier to fix my build.
Thanks,
