"mc" == "merge candidate", for want of a better name. This tree holds
the patches which are slated for inclusion into Linus's tree in the
short-term.

As Linus is offline for a week we should expect that the contents of
-mc1 will be merged into kernel bitkeeper around April 12.

2.6.5-mm1 will consist of all of 2.6.5-mc1 plus other patches. The
separation point is "mc.patch" in the -mm series file - everything before
mc.patch is part of both the -mc and -mm kernels and everything after
mc.patch is in -mm only.

The -mc series probably won't live for very long - I'm releasing it so
that people can prepare patches against what Linus's kernel will look
like when he returns.

This patch doesn't apply to 2.6.5 or 2.6.5-mm1. I get:

The next patch would create the file arch/alpha/kernel/osf_sys.c,
which already exists! Assume -R? [n]

and so on.

2.6.5-mm1 applies cleanly.

oops, damn, thanks. A broken script. I've uploaded a fixed version, but
it'll take an hour or so to propagate to the main kernel.org server. The
1.8MB 2.6.5-mc1.gz is the bad one. The 240k file is the correct one.

what about this patch?

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5-rc3/2.6.5-rc3-mm4/broken-out/yenta-TI-irq-routing-fix.patch

Actually I need it to make my TI PCMCIA bridge work again.

Well it's in the queue. I'll let it cook for a while then pass it on to
Russell.
