I have a long pipeline waiting, but as Dave said most of that really
shouldn't go into 2.6.24.

There's one patch from me that I sent a long time ago that's a trivial
cleanup and should probably go into 2.6.24 still, that's

"[PATCH] kill unused IOMAP_EOF flag"

One thing that is in my alreayd submitted queue that should go into CVS
ASAP after a small review is:

"[PATCH] kill probe_* sysctl leftovers"

this is stuff that never was in mainline, so putting it in seems fine.

Then I have a patch from Eric sitting in the front of my queue,

"[PATCH V2] refactor xfs_mountfs for clarity & stack savings"

which might be a little too big for 2.6.24, but should at least go into
CVS ASAP. I think Eric would be really happy to see it in 2.6.24 aswell
because that means FC8 could actually mount xfs out of the box without
running out of stack or something.
