Cover letter [00/55] 2.6.37.6-stable review

This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 2.6.37.6 release.

Note, this is the LAST 2.6.37 kernel release, after this one it is "end-of-life" or whatever your favorite term is for "not being updated anymore and you shouldn't be using it unless someone else is in charge of maintaining it for you."

There are 55 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 @date (day, month date, time)@ 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-2.6.27.19-rc1.gz

and the diffstat can be found below.

thanks,
