2.6.19-rc1: known regressions

[Adrian Bunk]

Contrary to popular belief, there are people who test -rc kernels
and report bugs.

And there are even people who test -git kernels.

This email lists some known regressions in 2.6.19-rc1 compared to 2.6.18.

If you find your name in the Cc header, you are either submitter of one
of the bugs, maintainer of an affectected subsystem or driver, a patch
of you was declared guilty for a breakage or I'm considering you in any
other way possibly involved with one or more of these issues.

Due to the huge amount of recipients, please trim the Cc when answering.
