2.6.32.7-stable review

This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 2.6.32.7 release. There are 98 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let us know. If anyone is a maintainer of the proper subsystem, and wants to add a Signed-off-by: line to the patch, please respond with it.

Responses should be made by Thursday, January 28, 20:00:00 UTC. Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:

	kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/stable-review/patch-2.6.32.7-rc1.gz

and the diffstat can be found below.

I want to strongly thank Ben Hutchings, of the Debian Kernel team, for doing a lot of work on this release. He went through the Debian kernel and sent me a lot of patches. Same goes for the openSUSE and Gentoo kernel teams[1], they also did a great job digging patches out for this release as well.

thanks,

greg k-h

[1] Ok, that would have been me, but I am on both of those teams, and if I don't thank myself, who does?
