Linux 2.6.16.61-rc1

[Adrian Bunk]

I was recently busy with other things and failed to regularly
update 2.6.16 - sorry for this.

This is just the first batch, there's more backlog and there will 
additional updates with the pending stuff during the next weeks.


Security fixes since 2.6.16.60:
- CVE-2008-1669: fix SMP ordering hole in fcntl_setlk()
- CVE-2008-1673: asn1: additional sanity checking during BER decoding
- CVE-2008-2136: sit: Add missing kfree_skb() on pskb_may_pull() failure.
