FYI - I have one large merge still to come, which is the ARM EABI code.
This allows us to build the kernel with the new ARM ELF ABI toolchain,
and maintain a certain level of compatibility with existing userspace.
(Some ioctls end up breaking, but so far we've only found some ALSA
mixer related ones.)
Of course, if you build with the existing non-EABI toolchain, there's
almost no change to the binary (well, it unfortunately grows by about
160 bytes because the stat64 structure is handled a very slightly
different but 100% compatible way.)
I'm expecting the patches to be re-spun hopefully before -rc1, but this
is dependent on others doing so - and of course it will only impact ARM.
