Linux 2.6.27.18

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

Here's the announcement of the 2.6.27.18 kernel release.  If you are
using the 2.6.27 kernel series, you want to upgrade to this one.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.27.17 and 2.6.27.18

The updated 2.6.27.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
