[Note: From December 22 to December 29 inclusive I will be traveling with
(most probably) limited Internet access, so the next report will likely be
posted after December 30. I also may be unresponsive next week. ;-)]

This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.23 reported since
2.6.24-rc1 was released, for which there are no fixes in the mainline I know
of. If any of them have been fixed already, please let me know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.23, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list. Also, please let me know if any of the
entries below are invalid.

As you can see, there is a Bugzilla entry for each of the listed regressions.
There also is a Bugzilla entry used for tracking the regressions from 2.6.23,
unresolved as well as resolved, at:

Please let me know if there are any Bugzilla entries that should be added to
the list in there.
