So it's Christmas Day here, but it's also Sunday afternoon two weeks
after the 6.2 merge window opened. So holidays or not, the kernel
development show must go on.

Thanks to a lot of people sending their pull requests early, I got
much of the merge window work done before the holidays started in
earnest, and mostly before my pre-xmas travel. So despite flight
delays, missed connections, and the resulting airport hotel
excursions, the merge window mostly went smoothly, and there was no
reason to delay rc1.

That said, realistically I expect most people to be on vacation for at
least another week, so I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with a
delayed final release due to the season. But it's too early to worry
about that yet, we'll just have to see how it goes.

Also, 6.2 looks like it's a bigger release (certainly bigger than 6.1
was). The summary below is, as usual, just my merge log: we've got
about 13.5k commits from ~1800 people in total in this merge window,
which is actually not that far off the total size of the whole 6.1
release. But let's hope that despite the size, and despite the likely
slow start of the post-merge-window calming down period, we'll have a
smooth release.

And in the meantime, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all
(replace as appropriate with whatever holiday, if any, you are
celebrating).
