2.6.17-rc5-mm2

- A cfq bug was fixed in mainline, so the git-cfq tree has been restored.

- Various lock-validator and genirq fixes have been added.  Should be
  slightly less oopsy than 2.6.17-rc5-mm1.

- I just realised that I've been accidentally not updating the PCI tree for
  a while.  Will be restored in next -mm.

- Has been booted and has passed various stress-tests on quad x86_64,
  quad ancient-Xeon, quad power4, quad ia64, dual old-PIII and a modern
  pentium-M laptop.  So if it breaks, it's your fault.




Boilerplate:

- See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset.

- To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

  git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
  mm-commits mailing list.

        echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is
  most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
  introduced the bug.  Instructions for this process are at

        http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

  But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
  reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
  identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
  list on any email.
