Here are two patches against your 2.6.26-rc2-git tree.
They do:

	- remove an unused list head in struct class now that struct

	  class_device is gone.

	- fix a bug at boot time with raid partitions.  This is a

	  regression from 2.6.24 that is now finally fixed.  Many thanks

	  to Kay for doing this work.  It will be added to the

	  2.6.25-stable tree as well.
Please pull from:

	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
Both of these patches have been in the -next and -mm trees for a while.
The patch will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people

to see.
thanks,
greg k-h

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
Some devices, like md, may create partitions only at first access,

so allow root= to be set to a valid non-existant partition of an

existing disk. This applies only to non-initramfs root mounting.
This fixes a regression from 2.6.24 which did allow this to happen and

broke some users machines :(
