- This kernel has a big ACPI update

- reiser3 should be safe(r) to use.


Known problems:

- You'll probably see something like this

Memory: 4017084k/6291456k available (2896k kernel code, 176452k reserved, 1868k data, 208k init)
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:84         in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0
Call Trace: <ffffffff8012374e>{__might_sleep+177} <ffffffff803cd7da>{mutex_lock+26}
<ffffffff8016b533>{kmem_cache_create+161} <ffffffff8063b0fb>{free_all_boo


  in early boot.  Please ignore.

- drivers/i2c/busses/scx200_acb.c doesn't compile on architectures which
  don't have asm/msr.h.



Boilerplate:

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
  mm-commits mailing list.

        echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it's not obvious which patch caused it, it is
  most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
  introduced the bug.  Instructions for this process are at

        http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

  But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
  reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
  identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
  list on any email.
