Changes from 2.6.33.5-rt24 to 2.6.33.5-rt25:

ec646ea: vfs: Revert the scalability patches

Changes from 2.6.33.5-rt26 to 2.6.33.6-rt26:

7e1af11: Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.33.y

Bulk of changes comes from the stable tree and from the big revert of
the VFS scalability patches. They looked promising, but the nasty
details bit us hard. We'll revisit them later.

There are some pending issues:
- rtc_lock suspend/resume (working on a patch)
- futex requeue_pi (patch available, needs testing/confirmation)
- powerpc64 oddities (patch available, needs rework)
