Just to test things out a bit...

Here's the list of things which we might choose to put into 2.6.11.2. I was
planning on sending them in for 2.6.12 when that was going to be
errata-only.

>From 2.6.11-mm1:

cramfs-small-stat2-fix.patch
setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve-oops-fix.patch
dv1394-ioctl-retval-fix.patch
ppc32-compilation-fixes-for-ebony-luan-and-ocotea.patch

nfsd--lockd-dont-try-to-match-callback-requests-against-export-table.patch
audit-mips-fix.patch
make-st-seekable-again.patch

wrt the nfsd patches, Neil said:

The problem they fix is that currently:
Client A holds a lock
Client B tries to get the lock and blocks
Client A drops the lock
**Client B doesn't get the lock immediately, but has to wait for a
timeout. (several seconds)
