[NOTE:
Well, we seem to have two reports that are almost 2 months old and with
patches. Somebody care to push those patches to Linus or say why they
are invalid, pretty please?]

This message contains a list of some post-2.6.32 regressions introduced before
2.6.33, for which there are no fixes in the mainline known to the tracking team.
If any of them have been fixed already, please let us know.

If you know of any other unresolved post-2.6.32 regressions, please let us know
either and we'll add them to the list. Also, please let us know if any
of the entries below are invalid.

Each entry from the list will be sent additionally in an automatic reply to
this message with CCs to the people involved in reporting and handling the
issue.
