- Various random fixes.  Maybe about half of these are 2.6.0-worthy.

- Some improvements to the anticipatory IO scheduler and more readahead
  tweaks should help some of those database benchmarks.

  The anticipatory scheduler is still a bit behind the deadline scheduler
  in these random seeky loads - it most likely always will be.

- "A new driver for the ethernet interface of the NVIDIA nForce chipset,
  licensed under GPL."

  Testing of this would be appreciated.  Send any reports to linux-kernel
  or netdev@oss.sgi.com and Manfred will scoop them up, thanks.

- I shall be offline for a couple of days.
