Linux 2.6.23-rc3

[Linus Torvalds]

Either people really are calming down, and figuring out that we're in the 
stabilization phase, or it's just that it's the middle of August, and 
most everybody at least in Europe are off on vacation.

Regardless of why, -rc3 is out, and doesn't have the tons of changes that 
-rc2 did. But there's some scheduler updates, sparc64 and powerpc changes, 
and random driver updates (the lpfc SCSI driver kind of stands out in the 
diffstat).

Shortlog appended, I don't know what I can add to it.. Please do give it a 
good testing, unless you're on a beach sunning yourself (and who are we 
kidding: you're pasty white, and sand is hard to get out of the keyboard - 
beaches are overrated).

		Linus
