I have no idea how critical any of this stuff is, but linux-next contain
the following in it's "current" trees i.e. stuff that is supposed to go
into 2.6.36.  These are from the arm-current, scsi-rc-fixes, net-current,
wireless-current, kbuild-current, input-current and ide-curent trees
(contacts cc'd).

The SCSI rc-fixes stuff is critical if you run into the bugs, but the
bugs are fairly rare cases for most people.  I'd still like to get them
in, though (and I have another 3 rc fixes candidates going through the
test pipeline).
