So it's early Sunday afternoon, two weeks have passed, and so I've
tagged and pushed out the 7.1-rc1 release and the merge window is
closed.

Things look fairly normal, although we do have a few different
projects to cull some old hardware support to help minimize
maintenance burden: phasing out i486 support (configs deleted, code
deletions to follow) and independently starting to remove some really
old networking hardware support, and removing some SoC support that
never went anywhere.

But we're more than making up for any stale code removal with all the
new features and code added, so the diffstat still shows many more
lines added than removed.

As always for the merge window, the diffstat and shortlog are much too
big to quote here. The merge window looks fairly normal stat-wise,
possibly slightly on the bigger side: we've got about 13k non-merge
commits, with an additional thousand merge commits. So appended below
is just the top-level view of the merges I've done.

The changes are all over, although the diff looks a bit lopsided due
to another bulk AMD GPU register header sync. That register definition
sync is about 25% of the total patch, but if you ignore that bulk
change everything else looks pretty normal - half the updates are to
drivers,  with the rest being spread out over arch updates,
filesystem, networking and core kernel updates. With a healthy
smattering of documentation, tooling and selftest updates.

Let's start testing and calming this thing down,

              Linus
