Patches which have been submitted to lkml in the last month or so,
are not suitable for post-freeze, and have not been rejected yet:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/2.6-not-in-yet/
Ordered from most invasive to least. (Yay! I win!).
In the vain hope that Linus will announce a shortlist for consideration,
Rusty.
PS. Reproduced below.

Hi. I'm bitter because my module rewrite didn't get in earlier, so now I'm spending some effort to ensure that there's a one-stop list of patches which might go into 2.6, making it easier to review, argue, and ideally allow Linus to decide what is to be considered for the freeze.
Entrance criteria:
* Must have been submitted to lkml in the last month, * Hasn't been rejected by the maintainer/Linus, * Not appropriate for insertion during stable series (ie. too invasive, new feature, breaks userspace)
Key: A: Author M: lkml posting describing patch D: Download URL S: Size of patch, number of files altered (source/config), number of new files. X: Impact summary (only parts of patch which alter existing source files, not config/make files) T: Diffstat of whole patch N: Random notes
