Similar to David's recent announcement, netdev-2.6.git is now closed to 
new features.

Though really, [my fault] I should have posted this as soon as the merge 
window opened.  The stuff that goes into each new release, when the 
merge window opens, should be stuff that has already been through a 
round of testing in -mm.

The updates presented in netdev -- e100, e1000, ixgb and sky2 -- will go 
upstream tomorrow.  Everything else will be fixed.

And the message for the future is:  don't wait until the merge window 
opens, to submit your test.  Doing so means it doesn't get the normal 
amount of testing and review, and is thus discouraged.

	Jeff

I wish "everything" was fixed, after tomorrow :)

Apparently I need my morning Pepsi.
