Thanks to Marcel for going through this stack of patches and
reinforcing the point about offering better changelogs and about
giving more careful consideration to differentiating fixes from
features/cleanups/etc.

FWIW, I think that "regressions only" is a bit too strict for a hard
rule.  Also, I think that many of these patches are still mergeable
for 2.6.27 if we are given more thorough explanations of the actual
problems they are meant to address and the actual solutions they
apply to those problems.

I hope you will resubmit this series (more or less) with more thorough
changelogs in the near future.

Thanks!

John
