Linux 2.5.35

Linus Torvalds
2002-09-16T02:25:05Z

Hmm.. Lots of threading work by Ingo Molnar, more merges with Andrew
Morton, and Rusty "trivial" Russell (because BK only holds one person
responsible the trivial patches get attributed to the original author, not
Rusty, but Rusty should get a special attribution for maintaining the set
of patches).

Oh, and Jeff Dike's UML is in.

ACPI, PPC, USB, Sparc etc updates.
