- I'm releasing this so that Hugh's MM rework can get a spin.

  Anyone who had post-2.6.14 problems related to the VM_RESERVED changes
  (device drivers malfunctioning, obscure userspace hardware-poking
  applications stopped working, etc) please test.

  We'd especially like testing of the graphics DRM drivers across as many
  card types as poss.

- cifs is busted when built as a module.  Mysteriously.

- Added the parisc devel tree to the -mm lineup as git-parisc.patch (Kyle
  McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca>)

- Added the powerpc devel tree to the -mm lineup as git-powerpc.patch (Paul
  MacKerras).

- Dropped the powerpc devel tree again due to refusal to boot.  Next time
  for sure.

- The JSM driver is still busted.  Make sure that CONFIG_SERIAL_JSM=n

- The UML update here is reported to cause a compile failure.
