And ISDN, kbuild, ARM, uml...
And a small reminder that we're now officially in the last month of
features, and since I'm going to be away basically the last week of
October, so I actually personally consider Oct 20th to be the drop-date,
unless you've got a really good and scary costume.. So don't try to leave
it to the last day.
[ And if that didn't worry you, the following should: I'm perfectly happy
with the kernel, and as such whatever features _you_ think are missing
might just not weigh too much with me if you then also make the mistake
of trying to leave them for the last crunch. I might just take the last
day off too ;]
And if it wasn't clear to the non-2.5-development people out there, yes
you _should_ also test this code out even before the freeze. The IDE layer
shouldn't be all that scary any more, and while there are still silly
things like trivially non-compiling setups etc, it's generally a good idea
to try things out as widely as possible before it's getting too late to
complain about things..

Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>:
o [ARM PATCH] 1302/1: ARMv5 optimized findbit Question: is there any
reason to do all this with byte access rather than word access
besides alignment issues? Word access would be much faster.
o [ARM PATCH] 1293/1: fix to the ARM optimized strchr() Two bugs
here:
Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com>:
o [sparc]: defconfig update
o [sparc] Stalingrad for kbuild army
o [sparc] Suppress warnings in srmmu printks
Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>:
o free_irq docs
o [ARM] Add Thumb syscall stubs and drop gcc asm workarounds
o [ARM] Move PHYS_TO_NID() to asm/memory.h When
CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=n, we define PHYS_TO_NID(x) to zero in each
architecture specific file. This cset moves it into the generic
ARM code.
o [ARM] Put back the CPU MM context switch avoidence test
o [ARM] Thumb fixes This cset fixes a set of problems discovered
while developing KLIBC with Thumb support. We now allow pure Thumb
executables, and prevent such executables from being run on
non-Thumb code aware CPUs.
o [ARM] Always decend into compressed and bootp subdirectories
o [ARM] Make "bootp" Image generation know that the zImage is now PIC
o [ARM] Fix XScale "feature" XScale does not guarantee that CPU
control register writes complete their side effects immediately.
In fact, Intel give sample code to demonstrate a way to ensure that
the effect of the write has occurred.
o Since irq_exit() now deals with softirqs, irq_enter and irq_exit
must be located at the top level of the interrupt handler.
o [ARM] Remove old AMBA KMI driver information
o [ARM] Fix up initcall ordering ARM machine support gets initialised
too late in the initialisation
o [ARM] Provide hook for FP emulators to know when a new thread is
created This allows FP emulators to take their FP initialisation
out of the hot path.
o [ARM] Move machine config questions into machine class subdirs This
cset moves a fair amount of per-machine questions into their
relevant machine class subdirectory, making arch/arm/config.in
easier on the eyes.
o [ARM] Update nwfpe to use new fp_init hook
o [ARM] Don't continue to process pending interrupts after
disable_irq() This solves a problem whereby the generic interrupt
code repeatedly called an interrupt handler, even though the
interrupt handler had called disable_irq().
o [ARM] Parse initrd information early We need the initrd location
before the normal command line parsing
o [ARM] Add DC21285 decompressor debug support
o [ARM] 2.5.34 update Update for changes in mainline 2.5.3[01234].
o [ARM] Unify integer register usage passed into FP module
o [ARM] NWFPE updates for new entry conditions
o [ARM] Remove keyboard.h includes and some generic ARM keyboard bits
o [ARM] Bring asm/setup.h and asm/unistd.h into line with main ARM
tree This removes some minor differences between Linus' tree and
the main ARM tree; comment clarification and some weird formatting.
o [ARM] Correct the usage of __FUNCTION__ to make gcc happy
o [ARM] Update PCI host bridge drivers for GregKH PCI cleanups
o [ARM] Don't return a value from ptrace_set_bpt() The return value
from ptrace_set_bit() is never used. This cset makes it a void
function.
o [ARM] Fix up export-objs for clps711x, integrator and sa1100 (From
Thunder)
o [ARM] Cleanup Ceiva merge
o [ARM] Add kmap_types.h and percpu.h
o [ARM] Fix clps711x and ftvpci LEDs initialisation
o [ARM] Fix assabet backlight and power supply settings
o [ARM] Update SA1111 core and related drivers for LDM
o [ARM] Add LDM suspend/resume support to SA1100 suspend code
o [ARM] Remove "struct device" from sa1111_init() callers This didn't
follow the LDM model correctly. The SA1111 is always a device on
the root bus.
o [ARM] sa1100fb updates Update sa1100fb for recent fbcon changes,
and move stork LCD power handling into machine specific file.
o [ARM] Update cpufreq related sa1100 related drivers and CPU code
This cset updates sa1100 code for the now merged cpufreq next-gen.
o [ARM] Fix sa1111 IRQ handling We must clear down all currently
pending IRQs before servicing any IRQ on the chip. This prevents
immediate recursion into the interrupt handling paths when we
service the first IRQ.
o [ARM] Prevent namespace clash with IRq numbering Add "IRQ_" prefix
to these sa1111 irq numbers.
o [ARM] General cleanups/missed bits in previous csets This corrects
spelling mistakes, adds missed configuration for cpufreq, corrects
free_irq comment, etc.
o [ARM] iPAQ updates from Jamey Hicks
Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com>:
o wait_event_interruptible_timeout
o SMB Unix Extensions
o might_sleep fixes
Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>:
o i8xx documentation
o i8xx: new PCI ids
o i810-tco update
