Mostly just keeping up with the Torvalds & Tossati's.
I've not merged any of the mips/ia64/ppc etc changes from 2.4,
and I'm looking at dropping whats in my tree that touches those soon.
The rationale being that the arch maintainers can do (and will do)
a better job at pushing those to Linus than I can, and as I've no way of
testing a lot of these changes, fixing up rejects in foreign asm is nigh
on impossible.
It's likely I won't put out too many patches in the next week or so, with
both a pending housemove, and experimenting with bitkeeper to try and
get much of this huge diff pushed Linus' way.
I'll still be picking up the overspill/syncing with -current however.
As usual,..
