Subject: Linux 3.7

Whee. After an extra rc release, 3.7 is now out. After a few more
trials at fixing things, in the end we ended up reverting the kswapd
changes that caused problems. And with the extra rc, I had decided to
risk doing the buffer.c cleanups that would otherwise have just been
marked for stable during the next merge window, and had enough time to
fix a few problems that people found there too.

There's also a fix for a SCSI driver bug that was exposed by the
last-minute workqueue fixes in rc8.

Other than that, there's a few networking fixes, and some trivial
fixes for sparc and MIPS.

Anyway, it's been a somewhat drawn out release despite the 3.7 merge
window having otherwise appeared pretty straightforward, and none of
the rc's were all that big either. But we're done, and this means that
the merge window will close on Christmas eve.

Or rather, I'll probably close it a couple of days early. For obvious
reasons. It's the main commercial holiday of the year, after all.

So aim for winter solstice, and no later. Deal? And even then, I might
be deep into the glögg.
