reporters don't follow up.]

This message contains a list of some post-2.6.33 regressions introduced before
2.6.34, for which there are no fixes in the mainline known to the tracking team.
If any of them have been fixed already, please let us know.

If you know of any other unresolved post-2.6.33 regressions, please let us know
either and we'll add them to the list. Also, please let us know if any
of the entries below are invalid.

issue.
