Subject: compat-drivers v3.8.2 release

compat-drivers gets a series of v3.8.2 based releases kicked out [0].
Below is the ChangeLog relevant to the backport effort, thanks to
everyone who contributed! For the full ChangeLog that includes all
kernel components updated refer to the upstream file [1]. Be sure to
use the new release page for now [2]. Interesting to note was there
are a slew of pending-stable patches not yet merged into linux-3.8.y
for the networking subsystem but nothing for DRM, we get these merged
in on the -s releases, as a short cut, instead of having to wait for
them to be merged.

================================================================
ChangeLog for compat-drivers-v3.8.2-2 based on linux-3.8.2
================================================================

This is the ChangeLog for the Linux kernel project compat-drivers.
It provides a backport of a few Linux kernel subsystems down to
older kernels:

  * 802.11
  * Bluetooth
  * Ethernet
  * DRM

For more details refer to the home pages:

https://backports.wiki.kernel.org

The compat-drivers project consists of code from three projects:

  * The Linux kernel: linux-stable.git
  * Compat-wirelesS: compat-drivers.git
  * Compat: compat.git

The compat-drivers stable releases incorporates code from from
each of these git trees for the respective upstream Linux kernel
stable release. A branch called linux-3.x.y exists for each
stable release. Below we provide the ChangeLog of changes from
the previous branched release to the new branched release.

Release: linux-3.8
