2.6.20-rc5: known regressions with patches

[Adrian Bunk]

This email lists some known regressions in 2.6.20-rc5 compared to 2.6.19
with patches available.

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 caused 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.

This is not a regression from 2.6.19, since kvm did not exist in
2.6.19.  In any case akpm has the patch and plans to merge it for
2.6.20 so I don't think anyone has to worry about this one.

I know, but a bug that is not present in 2.6.19 is a regression. ;-)

More seriously, I know it's a bit borderline to talk about a regression, 
but I think listing things like crashes or compile errors in new 
functionality makes sense - especially in such cases where it's about 
tracking that a patch doesn't miss 2.6.20.

Linus, please pull from git://git.infradead.org/mtd-2.6.git

This fixes the above bug along with a few others. It does also contain a
small amount of new code which has been waiting for a while (including
the driver for the CAFÉ NAND controller which we use on OLPC.).

My apologies for missing the merge window and first asking you to pull
this a few hours after 2.6.20-rc1 was cut; I'd been waiting for the
bitrev stuff to land, and had waited too long.
