Linux-2.6.1

Linux-2.6.1

[Linus Torvalds]

Ok, the diffs from -rc3 are minimal, most noticeably the (very _very_ hard
to trigger, but nasty if you ever did) fork() race that Ingo found.

I'm going to be in Australia (and on airplanes) for the week, but we're
all in the capable hands of Andrew, so why worry? The fact that I'm
fleeing the country should in no way be construed as anything sinister at
all, no siree. Nope. I'm innocent, and nobody saw me do it. 

The full changelog is getting uploaded right now along with the release, 
and the BK trees have already been pushed. 

Up up and away,

		Linus

Isn't it just fleeing to better beer?

That could be almost anywhere :)

Don't know about you, even my local supermarket has 10-12 microbrews, 
any of the beverage warehouses I can come up with at least 30 brewers 
with a selection of styles each, and most have 4-8 kegs of draft on tap 
for sale by the growler. I go for high-hopped ales, but there are lots 
of other goodies. Not to mention eight brew pubs close and another ten 
within an hour or so.

"Other beer" I believe, I'll even buy "fewer bland beers," but not 
better beer in general. Unless you live in a dry state, of course.

While trying to make m68k use drivers/Kconfig, I keep on finding multi-bus
drivers that don't compile if CONFIG_PCI is disabled. Perhaps you want to check
for that too?
