A Christmas message from the Linux Kernel Mailing List, by Linus Torvalds) —Now, most of you are probably going to be totally bored out of your minds on Christmas day, and here's the perfect distraction. Test 2.6.15-rc7. All the stores will be closed, and there's really nothing better to do in
between meals.
A number of mostly one-liners. The biggest ones are probably some s390
qeth updates and some ipv6 fixes, the rest is just a number of small
fixes. The shortlog gives a pretty good picture of what's going on. I
suspect the forcedeth fix is the one most likely to affect any reasonable
number of people, although the more relaxed usb suspend probably makes
a big difference.

Please do give it a try, and if you have any issues/regressions, send out
a note (even if you sent one earlier) so that we don't forget about it.
Thanks,
