Linux 2.6.24-rc7

[Linus Torvalds]

It's been two weeks since rc6, but let's face it, with xmas and new years 
(and birthdays) in between, there hasn't actually been a lot of working 
days, and the incremental patch from -rc6 is about half the size of the 
one from rc5->rc6.

And I'll be charitable and claim it's because it's all stabilizing, and 
not because we've all been in a drunken stupor over the holidays.

The shortlog (appended below) is short and fairly informative. It's all 
really just a lot of rather small changes. The diffstat shows a lot of 
one- and two-liners, with just a few drivers (and the Cell platform) 
getting a bit more attention, and the SLUB support of /proc/slabinfo 
showing up as a blip.

Both git trees and tar-balls/patches pushed out, should be mirroring out 
within minutes. So there are no excuses to not try it out, and see if your 
favorite regression has been fixed.
