2.6.28-rc5: Reported regressions 2.6.26 -> 2.6.27

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>]

[NOTE:
 I closed a number of Bugzilla entries dedicated to regressions introduced
 between 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 that appeared to have been fixed to me or where
 the reporters had been totally unresponsive for extended periods of time
 (given that they are notified every week ...).]

This message contains a list of some regressions introduced between 2.6.26 and
2.6.27, for which there are no fixes in the mainline I know of.  If any of them
have been fixed already, please let me know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions introduced between 2.6.26
and 2.6.27, please let me know either and I'll add them to the list.
Also, please let me know if any of the entries below are invalid.

Each entry from the list will be sent additionally in an automatic reply to
this message with CCs to the people involved in reporting and handling the
issue.
