2.6.19-rc4-mm2

- This is a bit of a rush job.  Mainly to test the updates to the driver
  tree, which do appear to have improved things.

- There's a huge update here to the hrtimers and dynticks code which I was
  supposed to test to see if it fixes the Vaio-goes-deadly-slow problem, but I
  forgot to.  But it does boot with hrtimers disabled...

  <quickly tests it>

  Nope, doesn't work.

- Lots of fbdev updates.  We haven't heard from Tony in several months, so I
  went on a linux-fbdev-devel fishing expedition.

- `make headers_check' is known-broken on i386 (Rusty's fault, as always)



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.

- When reporting bugs in this kernel via email, please also rewrite the
  email Subject: in some manner to reflect the nature of the bug.  Some
  developers filter by Subject: when looking for messages to read.

- Semi-daily snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to
  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ and are announced on
  the mm-commits list.
