Applied - obvious fix

Applied.

Applied. It would be nice if there was a way to make the pair of ops into
one atomic op. Ah well

> buffer-races-2.2.10-A: fixes genuine race in set_blocksize and

Not applied. You may be right, but this is too risky for 2.2.13

> endbase-2.2.10: safely heuristic to read the EDBA register from

Not important enough. If it goes into 2.3.x when Linus is back and works out
fine then ok.

Applied

Not important enough

The changed weightings may work. I'd prefer this to hit early 2.2.14pre so
we can get plenty of time to find out who they dont work for if anyone
Not applied

Applied

So not a candidate for 2.2.13 again maybe early 2.2.14

> probe-irq-2.3.14-pre2-1: avoid adding workarounds in the code by probing

Not that important it seems. Maybe for 2.2.14

> smp-reschedule-boot-2.3.13-1: fix a race in the SMP boot that was

Not applied. Again 2.2.14 maybe

Need to have a look at this in depth first.

I guess 2.2.13pre10 is the Andrea Special 8)
