Subject: Linux 6.17-rc4

[ Let's get the version number right in the subject line this time ;^]

It's been another week, and I'm finally over all my August travels,
and have actually caught up with all the emails and other stuff that I
let slide during this month. It didn't affect pull requests much,
because I made sure to prioritize those even during travels, but other
email responses may have suffered a bit.

But everything _should_ now be back to normal, and I can't blame
travel for any mistakes or missed emails any more.

Anyway, last week felt pretty normal, and rc4 stats bear that out,
both in commit numbers and in the diffstat. Nothing strange jumps out
at you: there's one slightly larger driver fix series (Intel idpf
network driver: "infrastructure data path function driver"), and some
arm64 kvm system register handling updates that are slightly bigger,
but honestly neither of those are exactly huge - and the rest of rc4
really is just one-liners and few-lines.

So it all looks fairly good.

Please do keep testing, and we'll get 6.17 out in a timely manner and
in good shape.

Knock wood.
