Subject: [ANNOUNCE] kernel v2.0.40-pre2

First of all, I'd like to thank Seiichi Nakashima for reporting
a few of these errors, and Jari Ruusu for reporting the problem with

This release is dedicated to all the innocent people of Afghanistan
that inevitably, and sadly, will suffer in the hunt for Usama Bin Ladin.
