2.6.16-rc6-mm1

- Added git-wireless.patch to the -mm lineup.  John Linville it looking
  after this tree.  It's presently empty - I guess he recently merged into
  git-netdev-all.

- I renamed `linus.patch' to `origin.patch'.  It's derived from the git
  branch name.  (origin.patch is Linus's current diff relative to the
  most-recently-released kernel).  origin.patch is empty too.

- Added git-scsi-target.patch to the -mm lineup (James Bottomley).  Turn
  your Linux box into scsi peripheral!

- New slab debugging infrastructure - define CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK and
  /proc/slab_allocators appears (Al Viro).

- The NFS tree is a bit sick - you may see the `busy inodes - self destruct
  in five seconds" message when performing NFS unmounts.  It seems relatively
  harmless.

- Big updates in the networking development tree (git-net.patch).  They seem
  to be due to:

    [SECURITY]: TCP/UDP getpeersec
    
    This patch implements an application of the LSM-IPSec networking
    controls whereby an application can determine the label of the
    security association its TCP or UDP sockets are currently connected to
    via getsockopt and the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

  Which I am sure is very good.
