Ho ho ho.. Linux 2.6.15-rc7

[Linus Torvalds]

Now, most of you are probably going to be totally bored out of your minds 
on Christmas day, and here's the perfect distraction. Test 2.6.15-rc7. All 
the stores will be closed, and there's really nothing better to do in 
between meals.

A number of mostly one-liners. The biggest ones are probably some s390 
qeth updates and some ipv6 fixes, the rest is just a number of small 
fixes. The shortlog gives a pretty good picture of what's going on. I 
suspect the forcedeth fix is the one most likely to affect any reasonable 
number of people, although the more relaxed usb suspend probably makes 
a big difference.

Please do give it a try, and if you have any issues/regressions, send out 
a note (even if you sent one earlier) so that we don't forget about it.

Thanks,

		Linus
