2.6.5-mc1

[Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>]

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5/2.6.5-mc1/

  "mc" == "merge candidate", for want of a better name.  This tree holds
  the patches which are slated for inclusion into Linus's tree in the
  short-term.

  As Linus is offline for a week we should expect that the contents of
  -mc1 will be merged into kernel bitkeeper around April 12.

  2.6.5-mm1 will consist of all of 2.6.5-mc1 plus other patches.  The
  separation point is "mc.patch" in the -mm series file - everything before
  mc.patch is part of both the -mc and -mm kernels and everything after
  mc.patch is in -mm only.

  The -mc series probably won't live for very long - I'm releasing it so
  that people can prepare patches against what Linus's kernel will look
  like when he returns.
