... so it's time kick freeze + release candidate I guess ;)

Are there any pending patches for the next release which should better
make it into the release candidate?

I just sent a few fixes to the mailing list (xhci msleep, romlayout.o
rebuild, int 1589 fix).  I think these should go into the final
release.  Unless there are comments on the above patches I'll push
them on Monday.

I think we can then also start the feature freeze on Monday.

Sounds good (and the patches look sane to me too btw).  So lets tag the
release candidate next monday, after applying the patches.
