[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

So this is what I have lined up for the first mm->2.6.22 batch.  I won't be
sending it off for another 12-24 hours yet.  To give people time for final
comment and to give me time to see if it actually works.



- A few serial bits.

- A few pcmcia bits.

- Some of the MM queue.  Includes:

  - An enhancement to /proc/pid/smaps to permit monitoring of a running
    program's working set.

    There's another patchset which builds on this quite a lot from Matt
    Mackall, but it's not quite ready yet.

  - The SLUB allocator.  It's pretty green but I do want to push ahead
    with this pretty aggressively with a view to replacing slab altogether.

    If it ends up not working out then we should remove slub altogether
    again, but I doubt if that will occur.

    If SLUB isn't in good shape by 2.6.22 we should hide it in Kconfig
    to prevent people from hitting known problems.  It'll remain
    EXPERIMENTAL.

  - generic pagetable quicklist management.  We have x86_64 and ia64
    and sparc64 implementations, but I'll only include David's sparc64
    implementation here.  I'll send the x86_64 and ia64 implementations
    through maintainers.

  - Various random MM bits

  - Benh's teach-get_unmapped_area-about-MAP_FIXED changes

  - madvise(MADV_FREE)



  This means I'm holding back Mel's page allocator work, and Andy's
  lumpy-reclaim.

  A shame in a way - I have high hopes for lumpy reclaim against the
  moveable zone, but these things are not to be done lightly.

  A few MM things have been held back awaiting subsystem tree merges
  (probably x86 - I didn't check).


- One little security patch

- the blackfin architecture

- small h8300 update

- small alpha update

- swsusp updates

- m68k bits

- cris udpates

- Lots of UML updates

- v850, xtensa
