Hi there everybody,
 this is hopefully the last -rc kernel before the real 2.6.11, so please 
give it a whirl, and complain loudly about anything broken.

As can be seen from the shortlog, most of the changes are pretty trivial. 
I think the biggest change is the radeon updates, and some of the NLS 
codepage things caused big diffs even if the changes themselves are pretty 
trivial (oh, and moving the ia64 "shubio.h" file accounts for about seven 
thousand lines of diffs, but no real changes ;)

In short: some driver updates, some arm/uml/sparc updates, and various 
random (mostly) one-liners all over. The most noticeable of the one-liners 
is hopefully that raid5/6 should work again.

		Linus
