2.6.7-mjb1
From: Martin J. Bligh
Date: Thu Jun 17 2004 - 16:31:09 EST
The patchset is meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground.
Main differences from mainline are:
1. Better performance & resource consumption, particularly on larger machines.
2. Diagnosis tools (kgdb, early_printk, etc).
3. Kexec support.
4. ivtv drivers
I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any
platform, however large or small.
