Linux 2.6.26.7

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.26.7
kernel.

It contains a wide range of bugfixes, and all users of the 2.6.26 kernel
series are strongly encouraged to upgrade.

Actually, scratch that, you all should upgrade to the 2.6.27 kernel
series as soon as possible, as there will probably only be one more
2.6.26 kernel release, so starting to migrate now would be a very good
idea.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.26.6 and 2.6.26.7

The updated 2.6.26.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
