Linux 3.6

Is it dead? Or am I doing something wrong?

A full copy of the full kernel tree with the linux-next and mmotm patches
already applied is available through git within an hour of the mmotm
release. Individual mmotm releases are tagged. The master branch always
points to the latest release, so it's constantly rebasing.

http://git.cmpxchg.org/?p=linux-mmotm.git;a=summary

This mmotm tree contains the following patches against 3.8-rc3:
(patches marked "*" will be included in linux-next)

* lockdep-rwsem-provide-down_write_nest_lock.patch
* mm-mmap-annotate-vm_lock_anon_vma-locking-properly-for-lockdep.patch

Had to revert the above two patches to start KVM (win7) successfully. Otherwise it would livelock on some semaphore, it seems. Couldn't kill it, ps output would stuck, even reboot didn't work (had to use SysRQ).
