Just a heads up to everyone, ran slightly over (rsync took longer to
verify the move than I expected).  But we are moved over to the much
bigger and faster new master.kernel.org server.

For those curious it's a:
HP DL380 G5
	2 x Intel Quad Core Xeon's
	16G ram
	Pile more disk (including an external MSA chassis)

Thanks go out to HP for the new hardware, and their continued support of
Kernel.org!!!

If there are problems, issues or concerns please report them to
ftpadmin@kernel.org, a quick look around seems to indicate everything
looks good however.
