Ok, I've merged stuff from more people, and 2.5.44 is out there. We're 
getting closer, folks.

And for the ext 8 days (starting _now_) it is totally unnecessary to try
to send me patches or cc me on the discussions about what needs to be
merged or not. I won't read it, and when I get back I will likely just
flush the whole inbox, since there's no way I can try to catch up _and_
try to merge some final pieces before the feature freeze at the same time.

I've asked various people to act as merge-points for me while I'm gone,
and to avoid having them mailbombed or pressured into accepting stuff they
don't really want to, I won't even tell who they are ;)

Anyway, the 2.5.44 patches are all over the map, see for yourself in the
appended changelog.

I repeat: while I'm gone, please use linux-kernel as a central point for
discussion, and I assume that all the normal suspects will maintain their
own set of fixes for it. Don't fill my inbox,

		Linus
