Linux 2.6.25.20

From: Greg KH

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.25.20
kernel.

It is the last release of the 2.6.25.y tree that I have planned to do.
the .25 tree has lasted a very long time (in the overall -stable
timeframe), and it's lifetime is pretty much over. All users using the
2.6.25.y tree are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version, and
then consider how they are going to upgrade to the latest 2.6.27 version
soon.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.25.19 and 2.6.25.20

The updated 2.6.25.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
