Subject: Linux 2.6.37-rc7

Another week, another -rc.

Nothing really earth-shattering in here, but the most notable part is
likely the PCI resource allocation changes, which revert back to
allocating things bottom-up, and then add some logic to avoid random
ACPI regions. That should fix the regressions in that area that we saw
after -rc1.

There's also a v4l update to fix some fallout from the BKL removal,
and fix up a few other regressions.

And a slightly uncomfortably large scheduler patch that should finally
fix the "report too high load average" problem that has been plaguing
the NOHZ case.

Other than that, there's all the normal random patches spread out. ARM
and MIPS updates, some lguest fixes, some fanotify stuff.. The
shortlog gives a reasonable view.

I'm still nervous about some of the regression reports for intel
graphics, so please keep testing and reporting. This is the last -rc
before xmas (or whatever your holiday may be), so now you all have a
few free days when you have nothing better to do than test out an -rc
release, right?
