- There's some new runtime debugging in kmap_atomic().  It catches one
  buglet in in ata_scsi_rbuf_get() - there may be others.  If it gets too
  noisy, please revert kmap_atomic-debugging.patch.

- The reiser4 build is broken by some VFS changes I made.

- New git tree git-ubi.patch (Artem Bityutskiy <[email protected]>):

    It is a kind of LVM layer but for flash (MTD) devices which hides
    flash devices complexities like bad eraseblocks (on NANDs) and wear.  The
    documentation is available at the MTD web site:
    http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html
    http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubi.html

- The x86_64 tree here is a few days old - the server is down.

- Brought back the write()-deadlock-fix-and-writev-speedup patches.

Note that these still look like they have a couple of problems (you are
_very_ unlikely to hit them unless you are running with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM,
or actually have any useful data).

We're just looking at how to fix them now. Stress testing would be
appreciated, but not your production database.

Thanks,
Nick
