- The RAID patches have been dropped due to testing failures in -mm3.

- The SCSI Attached Storage tree (git-sas.patch) has been restored.


Boilerplate:

- See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset.

- To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

  git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
  mm-commits mailing list.

        echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is
  most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
  introduced the bug.  Instructions for this process are at

        http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

  But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
  reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
  identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
  list on any email.

Can you find out what source line belongs to c1d9f264?

arch/i386/kernel/head.S::ignore_int(), which produced those messages,
is horribly broken.  The first fault was likely a page fault attempting
to write to some unmapped area.  Since page fault pushes an error code
onto the stack and ignore_int() doesn't pop it because it has no idea
whether one is there, it attempts to return to cs:eip f264:00000002
which causes segment-not-present for segment index f264 in the GDT.
Same thing then happens when _that_ tries to return to 0295:0000f264;
now we are into infinite recursion. Eventually the stack will overflow
and more fun errors will occur...

Is this worth fixing?  We could get nice diagnostics for page fault
here by writing a handler for early init code.
