2.6.23-rc8: Known regressions from 2.6.22

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi,

This message lists some known regressions from 2.6.22 for which there are
no fixes in the mainline that I know of.  If any of them have been fixed
already, please let me know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.22, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list.

For details, please follow the links given in references.

As you can see, there is a Bugzilla entry for each of the listed regressions.
I'm the owner of some of these entries, so if you want me to reassign them to
someone else, please let me know.

There also is a Bugzilla entry used for tracking the regressions from 2.6.22,
unresolved as well as resolved, at:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9056

Please let me know if there are any Bugzilla entries that I should add to the
list in there.

Greetings,
Rafael

Added; However, it's assigned to serial devices, while imput devices 
should be more appropriate for PS2 mouse?
