Linux 2.6.15-rc4

From: Linus Torvalds
Date: Thu Dec 01 2005 - 01:42:52 EST


Ok, so -rc3 wasn't so good.

[ Everybody chorus now: "Nooo?" ]

No.

[ Everybody chorus now: "Really?" ]

Really.

[ Everybody chorus now: "So what?" ]

So I made an -rc4.

This one hopefully doesn't have those pesky PageReserved() annoyances, and
the EHCI host controller bootup problems.

[ Everybody chorus now: "Hallelujah!" ]

Indeed.

It also has some atm, mtd and cifs updates.

Linus

[ Btw, some drivers will now complain loudly about their nasty mis-use of
page remapping, and that migh look scary, but it should all be good, and
we'd love to see the detailed output of dmesg on such machines. ]
