- This kernel requires gcc-3.2.x or later for all architectures.

- I'll be non-functional from December 16 until January 2.  Will be on email
  a bit.  Have fun.

- When reporting any bugs please be extra careful to Cc the appropriate
  developer and mailing list.

- I'm not aware of any of the more serious bugs in rc5-mm1 and rc5-mm2
  being fixed.  If anyone finds that there's a previously-reported problem
  in here then please just re-report it and don't be afraid to spread the
  Cc's around.

  Probably-unfixed bugs from -mm1 and -mm2 include:

  - Frank Sorenson <frank@tuxrocks.com>: mousepad tapping stopped working.

  - Roman I Khimov <rik@osrc.info>: "Something went wrong with ACPI, my
    fan is blowing constantly."

  - "J.A. Magallon" <jamagallon@able.es>: usb_set_configuration() oops.

  - Rachita Kothiyal <rachita@in.ibm.com>: kexec fails during USB init

  - "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>: ehci_hcd crashes on load sometimes

  - Grant Coady <grant_lkml@dodo.com.au>: "Locked up on boot just after
    USB 2.0 initialised, EHCI 1.00 ..."

  - Martin Bligh <mbligh@google.com>: "Panics in pci_call_probe on both
    x440 and NUMA-Q"

  We need to get these things fixed up before maintainers merge into
  2.6.16, please.  I'll be checking!
