Subject: Linux 6.16-rc1

So it's Sunday afternoon, and we all know what that means by now: the
merge window is closed, rc1 has been cut and pushed out, and we're all
supposed to start testing (and fixing) all the new code.

I think we had a fairly normal merge window, although I did get the
feeling that there were a few more "late straggler" pull requests than
usual.  Not to a huge degree, but there was definitely an upward bump
at the end of the second week.

But on the whole, all the stats look pretty normal: about half the
diff is driver updates (all over, although as usual gpu and networking
account for a fairly large chunk of it).

On the non-driver front, it looks like basically one third arch
updates, one third documentation and tooling (perf tool and
selftests), and one third "the rest".

That last part is where all the core changes go: filesystems, core
kernel and MM, networking etc. Typically not huge changes, but often
some of the more important ones. Although maybe that "more important"
comment just shows my personal biases.

Anyway, mergelog below giving at least an approximate high-level feel
for what I've merged this time around. The full shortlog is as always
much too big. We had just under 13k non-merge commits, and closer to a
thousand merges. And 1783 unique author names...
