Here's the 3rd try for the 2.6.27.52 kernel release. It has 3 more
patches than the -rc1 release, and two more than -rc2. I've tested this
on my machine, but I'm still getting some kernel log warnings from some
programs. Any VM developer who wishes to verify that I actually got my
backports correctly would be greatly appreciated as I am not that
comfortable with them.

As an example, look at patch 6/6, I could only figure out the /proc file
change, not the mlock range change, as the VM has changed a lot from .27
to today. Any help in porting commit
d7824370e26325c881b665350ce64fb0a4fde24a to the .27 tree "properly"
would be greatly appreciated.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/stable-review/patch-2.6.27.52-rc3.gz
and the diffstat can be found below.

thanks,

greg k-h

kbuild: fix make incompatibility

"Paul Smith" <psm...@gnu.org> reported that we would fail to build
with a new check that may be enabled in an upcoming version of make.

The error was:

Makefile:442: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop.

That's for a later kernel release, I'm trying to fix the one issue now.
This patch is for something else, something that was not caused by any
previous release either, so it's not that essencial at the moment,
right?

thanks,
