Linux 2.6.18-rc6

From: Linus Torvalds
Date: Mon Sep 04 2006 - 04:29:41 EST


Things are definitely calming down, and while I'm not ready to call it a
final 2.6.18 yet, this migt be the last -rc.

There's a few x86-64 updates, ARM and ppc stuff, and a couple of driver
fixes. And a small cifs update. Both ShortLog and diffstat is appended,
since they are both fairly small and easily viewed.
