2.6.21-rc4: known regressions with patches available

[Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>]

Let's not bore people running -rc kernels with regressions that have 
patches available - let's get this patches into the tree for giving 
them the pure exciting experience of the many unfixed regressions.


This email lists some known regressions in Linus' tree compared to 2.6.20
with patches available.

If you find your name in the Cc header, you are either submitter of one
of the bugs, maintainer of an affectected subsystem or driver, a patch
of you caused a breakage or I'm considering you in any other way
possibly involved with one or more of these issues.

Due to the huge amount of recipients, please trim the Cc when answering.
