- Added the x86 Geode development tree to the -mm lineup, as git-geode.patch
(Jordan Crouse).
- The locking validator patches are back, in a reworked series.
Still seeing the same breakage as I posted about here in -mm2:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0606.3/0195.html
I've since noticed that mail delivery is held up by the deliver process.
'deliver' is a component of the dovecot mail system (http://www.dovecot.org/)
which does delivery of mails to a user's Maildir and in the process recreates an
index.

I can't kill these processes with a KILL signal, nor can I strace them.
Revert to -mm1 or any previous kernel release, and it all works fine. That
leads me to believe this is probably not a userspace issue.
What patches which could have possibly caused this?
