I just pushed 2.6.15-rc3 out there, and here are both the shortlog and diffstats appended.

Most notable are some VM fixes from Hugh Dickins (with me then redoing some of it, but the bulk of the work goes to Hugh). That should finally hopefully fix some of the issues some people hit with the PageReserved removal and cleanup by Nick Piggin that was in -rc1.

There's also some input updates, cifs fixes, USB EHCI host controller updates, and a number of random stuff. Details in the shortlog below,


Those memory problems affecting v4l/dvb seem to be fixed (for me) , and everything seems to work, but I got this oops on bootup. This is the first 2.6.15-rcX kernel that I've installed on this particular box. 2.6.14 worked fine.
