Linux 4.8.4

[Greg KH]

I'm announcing the release of the 4.8.4 kernel.  And yeah, sorry about
the quicker releases, I'll be away tomorrow and as they seem to have
passed all of the normal testing, I figured it would be better to get
them out earlier instead of later.  And I like releasing stuff on this
date every year...

All users of the 4.8 kernel series must upgrade.

The updated 4.8.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.8.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
