[We have closed some entries since yesterday, located some patches and found
a couple of new regressions, so here's an updated report.]

This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.24 reported since
2.6.25-rc1 was released, for which there are no fixes in the mainline I know
of.  If any of them have been fixed already, please let me know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.24, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list.  Also, please let me know if any of the
entries below are invalid.
