Ok, it's been two weeks (actually, two weeks and one day) since 2.6.13, 
and that means that the merge window is closed. I've released a 
2.6.14-rc1, and we're now all supposed to help just clean up and fix 
everything, and aim for a really solid 2.6.14 release.

Both the diffstat and the shortlog are so big that I can't post them on 
the kernel mailing list without getting the email killed by the size 
restrictions, so there's not a lot to say. 

alpha, arm, x86, x86-64, ppc, ia64, mips, sparc, um.. Pretty much every
architecture got some updates. And an absolutely _huge_ ACPI diff, largely 
because of some re-indentation.

drm, watchdog, hwmon, i2c, infiniband, input layer, md, dvb, v4l, network,
pci, pcmcia, scsi, usb and sound driver updates. People may appreciate
that the most common wireless network drivers got merged - centrino
support is now in the standard kernel.

On the filesystem level, FUSE got merged, and ntfs and xfs got updated. In 
the core VFS layer, the "struct files" thing is now handled with RCU and 
has less expensive locking.

And networking changes.

In other words, a lot of stuff all over the place. Be nice now, and follow 
the rules: put away the new toys, and instead work on making sure the 
stuff that got merged is all solid. Ok?

Anybody with git can do the shortlog with

	git-rev-list --no-merges --pretty=short v2.6.14-rc1 ^v2.6.13 |
		git-shortlog | less -S

which is actually pretty informative.

Just an FYI,

NeroLINUX is also broken.  I can't successfully burn a DVD.

With cdrecord I can set the FIFO buffer size up to 20MB or so, which is 
locked in memory when running as root. The issue seems to be moving the 
data from the application buffer to the device buffer. Something in the 
kernel would appear to only do that data transfer on a timer tick. It 
may be that the dispatch latency is just too high, and that the thread 
pushing the data to the device is just not getting the CPU in time, even

with the application buffer locked and the application running at RT 
priority.

I generally build my kernels with voluntary preempt, I think I tried a 
real preempt kernel without improvement, but I can't swear to it. If the

O.P. doesn't mind a 14th build that might be a decent data point.
