The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything
else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable,
not so much a testing ground for new stuff.
I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any
platform, however large or small.

Since 2.5.58-mjb2 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped)
Notes:
Lots of good stuff merged up with Linus. x440 distcontigmem seems to have
problems in some circumstances, but APCI should work in this release.
