Right up to date with Marcelo & Linus, and clear inbound patch queue.
Despite the growing size, resync with Linus is still in progress,
and some of the bigger bits have now either shown up in pre1, or
are queued to go his way real soon.

Patch against 2.5.5 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/

By popular request, the curious can now find most of what
was merged in each release at http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/
