[This time I'm going to do something new: I'll send a series of messages with
individual regression entries CCed to the people involved in handling them in
replies to this message. Let's see how this works, fingers crossed. Thx. R.]

This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.24, for which there
are no fixes in the mainline I know of. If any of them have been fixed already,
please let me know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.24, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list. Also, please let me know if any of the
entries below are invalid.
