Ok. This is it. We (Andrew and me) are going to start a "pre-2.6" series,
where getting patches in is going to be a lot harder. This is the last
2.5.x kernel, so take note.

The probably most notable thing here is the anticipatory scheduler,
which has been in -mm for a long time, and was the major piece that
hadn't been merged. 

Some architecture updates: cris has been updated for 2.5, ia64 and arm26 
updates etc.  And various random (smallish) things.

		Linus

Jean-Luc Richier:
  o [IPV6] Fix ipv6_addr_prefix() for prefixlen != 0 (mod 8)

    via686a.

John Levon:
  o OProfile: __exit fixes
  o OProfile: needed fix to IO-APIC timer

  o jiffies include fix This patch fixes a bad declaration of jiffies
    in timer_tsc.c and timer_cyclone.c, replacing it with the proper
    usage of jiffies.h.

Krzysztof Halasa:
  o C99 initializers in hdlc_generic.c

Linus Torvalds:
  o The sbp2 driver needs <linux/pci.h>, but didn't include it. It
    apparently used to work due to some random magic indirect include,
    but broke lately.
  o Add an asynchronous buffer read-ahead facility. Nobody uses it for
    now, but I needed it for some tuning tests, and it is potentially
    useful for others.
  o Re-organize "ext3_get_inode_loc()" and make it easier to follow by
    splitting it into two functions: one that calculates the position,
    and the other that actually reads the inode block off the disk.
  o Carl-Daniel Hailfinger suggest adding a paranoid incoming trigger
    as per the "bk help triggers" suggestion, so that we'll see any new
    triggers showing up in the tree.
  o Go back to defaulting to 6-byte commands for MODE SENSE, since some
    drivers seem to be unhappy about the 10-byte version. 
  o When forcing through a signal for some thread-synchronous event (ie
    SIGSEGV, SIGFPE etc that happens as a result of a trap as opposed
    to an external event), if the signal is blocked we will not invoce
    a signal handler, we will just kill the thread with the signal.
  o Simplify and speed up mmap read-around handling
  o Fix several broken macros to get the "private" field of a seq-file
    in the networking code.
  o Avoid deadlocking on thread shutdown after a vfork
  o Fix IDE initialization when we don't probe for interrupts
  o Make the gcc version checks use the preprocessor symbols
    consistently.
  o Update CREDITS file and other documentation about my new email
    address
  o Fix up the IDE irq disable to take into account some

    about Fast Back to Back support Change the slot_name recommendation
    to pci_name().
  o PCI: arch/i386/pci/direct.c can use __init, not __devinit
    pci_sanity_check() is only called from functions marked __init, so
    it can be __init too.
  o PCI: pci_find_bus needs a domain Give pci_find_bus a domain
    argument and move its declaration to <linux/pci.h>
  o PCI: Remove pci_bus_exists Convert all callers of pci_bus_exists()
    to call pci_find_bus() instead.
  o PCI: arch/i386/pci/irq.c should use pci_find_bus Use pci_find_bus
    rather than relying on the return value of pci_scan_bus.
  o PCI: arch/i386/pci/legacy.c: use raw_pci_ops Make
    pcibios_fixup_peer_bridges() use raw_pci_ops directly instead of
    faking pci_bus and pci_dev.
  o PCI config space in sysfs
  o Driver Core: fix firmware binary files Fixes the sysfs binary file
    bug.
  o ia64: Use generic pci_scan_bus()

Mikael Starvik:
