The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff. I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small. http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.55/patch-2.5.55-mjb1.bz2 Since 2.5.54-mjb3 merged with Linus: - kallsyms Andi Kleen / Daniel Ritz - apicid_to_node Martin Bligh - i386_topo Matt Dobson - do_boot_error James Cleverdon - more_numaq1 James Cleverdon / Martin Bligh - cleanup_cpu_apicid Martin J.
