Linux 5.9-rc1

[Linus Torvalds]

This merge window felt a lot more normal than 5.8, and all the stats
confirm thar it seems to be the usual size.

The only thing that stands out is yet another AMD GPU header file
drop, but by now that almost counts as "usual" too. It does mean that
the diff stats are dominated by those AMD updates, and almost exactly
half of the diff is under drivers/gpu/drm/amd/, but it's the usual big
register definitions (presumably once more generated from the hw
files) and doesn't really matter in the big picture.

If you ignore that, stats look very normal. Even ignoring the AMD GPU
updates, drivers are still about 60% of the patch, and it's all over.
Outside of drivers, it's the usual mix of architecture updates,
documentation, core networking, tooling and filesystem updates.

"Normal size" is still obviously pretty big, so the appended is just
my merge-log as usual. For details, dig down into whichever area
excites you in the git tree...
