Linux 2.6.16-rc4

[Linus Torvalds]

Since it's a long weekend in the US, and since I know you'll all be bored 
to tears without a new release to play with, I'm cutting 2.6.16-rc4 a few 
days early.

[ Actually, since -rc2 and -rc3 were both late, we're still off the normal 
  "once a week" release schedule, but let's ignore that ]

The bulk of it is some SCSI driver updates (have you ever seen a diffstat 
without the qla driver taking the top spot? No? Neither have I), with a 
few architectures thrown in, and a number of mostly trivial fixes for good 
measure.

It is, as we say in the business, a "perfect" release. No bugs. No sirree. 
But just to verify that, you should all immediately download and test it. 
Since, quite frankly, what else do you have to do over the weekend?

		Linus
