Download Linux Kernel 2.5.75

Linus Torvalds has released the latest Linux development kernel. This one has been given a back number 2.5.75 and is here to take down. In this release, support for anticipatory I/O scheduler added. Below are the release notes, the changelog is up this page to read:

OK. This is it. We (Andrew and me) are going to start a “pre-2.6” series, where getting patches in is going to be a lot harder. This is the last 2.5.x kernel, so take note.

The probably most notable thing here is the anticipatory scheduler, which has been in -mm for a long time, and was the major piece that hadn’t been merged.

Some architecture updates: cris has been updated for 2.5, ia64 and arm26 updates etc. And various random (smallish) things.
