ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11/2.6.11-mm2/


- UML updates

- fbdev updates

- nfs4 server updates

- new megaraid driver, new iscsi driver, fatfs update, fbdev updates,
kitchen sink.

- The below description of what has been added and what has been merged is
probably a bit more inaccurate than usual due to my having shuffled things
around and confusing myself.

- I dropped the list-of-all-patches from this email due to it being rather
long. The unexpurgated version is at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11/2.6.11-mm2/announce.txt
