Linux 2.6.20-rc4
From: Linus Torvalds

There's absolutely nothing interesting here, unless you want to play with
KVM, or happened to be bitten by the bug with really old versions of the
linker that made parts of entry.S just go away.
But check it out anyway, and the shortlog gives more details on the
various minor fixes that have accumulated this week. Mostly in random
device drivers.
