It's being uploaded right now, and the BK trees should already
be uptodate.

There's a x86-64 update and IRDA updates here, and a number of USB storage
fixes. The rest is pretty small. Full changelog from -rc1 appended.

    init order to make some of the probing code (second irq probe)
    unnecessary.

Rusty Russell:
  o [NET]: Simplify net/flow.c per-cpu handling

Stephen Hemminger:

  o [IPV6]: Add and use new 'strict' parameter to ip6_chk_addr()
  o [IPV6]: addrconf_sysctl_forward_strategy() needs to invoke
    rt6_purge_dflt_routers() too

Vojtech Pavlik:
  o input: Move keycode definitions around to get as close to 2.4
    compatibility as we can at the moment. This also kills KEY_103RD,
    because PS/2 keyboards don't have it and everyone is expecting to
    get KEY_BACKSLASH anyway. Fix rawmode generation for PrintScreen
    key, too.
  o input: Add support for Logitech MX700 mouse
  o input: Expect only one character in interrupt in i8042.c, this
    eases the load on the controller (only one status read per
    interrupt). Also do polling only some time after an interrupt
    happened.
  o input: Add informational printk()s to atkbd.c
  o input: Add IBM GamePad to the BADPAD list
  o input: Key 89 is RO, not ROMAJI
  o input: Add a missing space in atkbd warning message
  o input: Make scancode for a Sun5 type keyboard one of those not
    ignored because of protocol nastiness.
