 - pre2:
     - Stephen Rothwell: directory notify could return with the lock held
     - Richard Henderson: CLOCKS_PER_SEC on alpha.
     - Jeff Garzik: ramfs and highmem: kmap() the page to clear it
     - Asit Mallick: enable the APIC in the official order
     - Neil Brown: avoid rd deadlock on io_request_lock by using a
       private rd-request function. This also avoids unnecessary
       request merging at this level.
     - Ben LaHaise: vmalloc threadign and overflow fix
     - Randy Dunlap: USB updates (plusb driver). PCI cacheline size.
     - Neil Brown: fix a raid1 on top of lvm bug that crept in in pre1
     - Alan Cox: various (Athlon mmx copy, NULL ptr checks for
       scsi_register etc).
     - Al Viro: fix /proc permission check security hole.
     - Can-Ru Yeou: SiS301 fbcon driver
     - Andrew Morton: NMI oopser and kernel page fault punch through
       both console_lock and timerlist_lock to make sure it prints out..
     - Jeff Garzik: clean up "kmap()" return type (it returns a kernel
       virtual address, ie a "void *").
     - Jeff Garzik: network driver docs, various one-liners.
     - David Miller: add generic "special" flag to page flags, to be
       used by architectures as they see fit. Like keeping track of
       cache coherency issues.
     - David Miller: sparc64 updates, make sparc32 boot again
     - Davdi Millner: spel "synchronous" correctly
     - David Miller: networking - fix some bridge issues, and correct
       IPv6 sysctl entries.
     - Dan Aloni: make fork.c use proper macro rather than doing
       get_exec_domain() by hand.
