. The ext2 "free inodes corrupted" problem which Martin saw should be
  fixed.

. The ext3 assertion failure which Maneesh hit should be fixed (I can't
  reproduce this, please retest?)

. A patch from Neil which will hopefully fix the RAID "bio too big" bug. 
  Neil cannot reproduce that, so we are asking anyone who _can_ make this
  happen to test this out.

. The weird behaviour with time-n-date on SpeedStep machines should be
  fixed.  Some of the weird behaviour, at least.

. A tweak to the oom killer here may cause earlier oom-killings.  I was
  able to trigger just the one.  Keep an eye on that please.


And on a personal note: The OSDL will now be sponsoring my kernel work at
Digeo.  This means that I shall become akpm@osdl.org.  akpm@digeo.com still
will work.  Many thanks to the OSDL and Digeo teams who put this together.
