Hi Linus,
 here is a revised pull request for md updates for 2.6.36.

 To the previous patches (which are unchanged) it adds some work by
 David Woodhouse which moves the RAID6 computations out of drivers/md/
 and places them in /lib so they can be used by other code -
 e.g. btrfs.
 The RAID6 code is completely unchanged (it was already accessed under
 the async-crypto interface so not changes are need to the API).  Only
 it's location and the fact that it can be a stand alone module
 (rather than being in the same module as the rest of md/raid6) has
 changed.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Hmm. Why "lib/raid6/raid6sse2.c" and friends? Why "raid6" twice? You
don't mean "raid6+1" (mirrored raid6 ;), so why not just remove the
second "raid6", and call it "lib/raid6/sse2.c"

But I pulled. Just in case there was some logic to the duplication.

No particular reason -- I just wanted the initial move to be as simple
as possible. Since it all gets built into raid6_pq.ko and we never see
these filenames even in module names, it does make sense to rename them.

If Neil approves, git://git.infradead.org/~dwmw2/libraid-2.6.git

The userspace test/ (neé raid6test/) directory doesn't build, but it
didn't before. At least I fixed the awk incantations.

Looks good,thanks.  There are a few comments still say "raid6xxx.c" and there
is a .h file (raid6x86.h) which you didn't rename but probably should be.

Yep, there is some bit rot in there.  Fixed that too.

Linus, you can get all this from
    git://neil.brown.name/md for-linus

Thanks.
