Subject: [ANNOUNCE] [PATCH] Linux-2.5.40-mcp1

first: anything that _should_ be merged into 2.5 devel tree and is _not_
merged so far for some good reason (f.e. needs testing, further development,
etc.), please send me those patches and I'll integrate them into the -mcp
tree! :) ... (if not already done) ... thnx!

Dominik, gratulations for CPU Frequency in Mainline now :-)


here we go, -mcp1 for 2.5.40 vanilla.

( P.S.: for everyone who hasn't 2.5.40 vanilla due to kernel.org down and
mirror's aren't updated: http://wolk.sf.net/patch-2.5.40.bz2 ) Thnx Andrew!
