kerneloops.org oops/warning report for the week ending February 7, 2010

[Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org>]

This week, a total of 771557 oopses and warnings have been reported.
That's a whole lot more than normal..... like by a lot.
The vast majority is in the ext4/quota interaction, specifically in the latest Fedora
kernel rpm (bad backport?)
RCU shows some fun as well, but pretty much exclusively on Dell machines.
