. There's nothing particularly notable here.  Most of the changes were in
  the short-lived -mm9.

. There is an anticipatory I/O scheduler update from Nick in experimantal/.


Changes since 2.5.59-mm9:


+oprofile-braino.patch

 Fix oprofile for P4's.

 It works OK for me.  I find oprofile userspace a bit of a pig to work with.
 The magical command to get P4 support working was

	opcontrol --setup --vmlinux=/boot/vmlinux --ctr0-count=600000 \
		--ctr0-unit-mask=1 --ctr0-event=GLOBAL_POWER_EVENTS

-sched-2.5.59-F3.patch
+sched-2.5.59-F3-update.patch

 Newer version of Ingo's scheduler update.

-generic_file_aio_write_nolock-overflow-fix.patch

 Merged

-dcache_rcu-fast_walk-revert.patch
-dcache_rcu-main.patch

 The presence of dcache_rcu is causing the NFS server to fail to start. 
 Something is going wrong deep down in the portmapper pseudo-fs.

 This could well be a problem in the knfsd code - this problem was not
 observed in earlier testing of the same dcache_rcu code.  It needs analysis.


-vxfs-memleak-fix.patch

 Merged
-sys_exit_group-warning-fix.patch

+hugetlbfs-i_size-fix.patch
+hugepage-address-validation.patch

 hugetlb fixes

+radix-tree-rnode-test.patch

 radix-tree cleanup

+ext3-comment-cleanup.patch

 Whitespace

+ext3-journalled-data-assertion-fix.patch

 data=journal fix.  It is still sick; it needs significantly deep
 surgery to get it right.

+ext3_fill_super-no-unlock_super.patch

 cleanup

+remove-buffer_head_mempool.patch

 Remove the mempool which backs buffer_head allocation.  It can cause
 lockups.

+deadline-hash-fix.patch

 Fix a couple of IO scheduler bugs.
