s390, cifs, ntfs, ppc, ppc64, cpufreq upates. Oh, and DVB and USB.

I'm hoping to do a final 2.6.6 later this week, so I'm hoping as many 
people as possible will test this.

	Thanks,

		Linus

  o invalidate cached pages when last local instance closed so we do
    not use stale data while someone may be modifying the file on the
    server.
  o fix double incrementing of transaction counter
  o Fix check of filldir return code during readdir to avoid incomplete
    search results displayed on very large directories. Fix cleanup of
    proc entries.  Add config parm to allow disabling negotiating Linux
    extensions
  o allow disabling cifs Linux extensions via proc

    notice running lock tests 1 and 7 of the connectathon posix file
    api tests

  o Fix global kernel name space pollution
  o Check return on failed dentry allocation.  Suggested by Randy
    Dunlap
  o Allow null password string pointer and passwords longer than 16
    bytes
  o finish handling commas in passwords
  o finish off mount parm sep override
  o Fix caching problem with multiply open files from different clients
  o Relax requested CIFS permissions on open to simply request
    GENERIC_READ and GENERIC_WRITE (instead of GENERIC_ALL which can
    unnecessarily conflict with share permissions by asking implicitly
    for take ownership and other unneeded flags)
  o fix remoting caching part 2
  o remove spurious debug messages
  o fix problem not connecting to server when port not specified
    explicitly and port field unitialized

  o clean up compiler warnings
  o Add missing description about how to specify credentials file
  o Invalidate readahead data properly when file closed, but other
    client changed it on server
  o Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated
    with server.  This allows files that differ only in case and 
    improves performance of file creation and file open to such servers
  o Fix 20 second hang on some deletes of reopened file due to
    semaphore conflict with vfs_delete on i_sem
  o fix merge problem with 2.6.5 (rename of page struct field list to
    lru)
  o Fix misc. minor memory leaks in error paths
  o free cifs read buffer on retry
  o Fix major page leak in read code caused by extra page_cache_get
    call
  o check permission locally for servers that do not support the CIFS
    Unix Extensions (allowing file_mode and dir_mode to augment the
    server permission check, by doing local vfs_permission check)
  o Remove 64 bit compiler warning
  o Remove "badness in remove_proc_entry" warning logged on module
    unload of cifs
  o Add in cifs fcntl handling to fix remote dnotify problem
  o Do not cache inode metadata when cache time set to 0 (fix hardlink
    count caching)
  o Retry 2nd time after failure on correct port
  o RFC1002 fixup

  o Update change log for 1.10 cifs vfs
  o proper rc on host down
