Linux v2.6.16

[Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>]

Ok, it's being mirrored out right now, the git tree should already be all 
there, the tar-file and patches are still uploading.

Not a lot of changes since -rc6, but there's various random one-liners 
here and there (a number of Coverity bugs found, for example), and there 
are small MIPS and PowerPC updates.

Appended is the shortlog from 2.6.16-rc6, the full log (from 2.6.15) is on 
the web/ftp-sites. 

It looks like both Fedora and SuSE end up using a kernel that is pretty 
close to this 2.6.16 release, so let's all hope it's good. Give it a good 
testing, please,

		Linus
