Augh.. People have been mailbombing me apparently because a lot of people finally decided that they really want to sync with me due to the upcoming feature freeze, so there’s a _lot_ of stuff here, all over the map.

Both the NFS client and the server are getting facelifts to support NFSv4. And both Dave Jones and Alan Cox decided to try to merge more stuff with me – along with the usual stream from Andrew Morton.

In addition, we have build updates, ISDN, ACPI, input layer, network drivers and driverfs.. Along with a random collection of other stuff: USB, s390, ppc etc.

End result: 1MB worth of compressed patches – in four days.
