There's various fixes here, ranging from some architecture updates (ia64, ARM, MIPS, SH, Sparc64) to KVM, networking and network drivers.

And random one-liners.

But probably more important, and likely much more visible to most people is the fixes for the fallout from the hrtimers and no-HZ changes, and some of the ACPI regressions.

Those timer changes ended up much more painful than anybody wished for, but big thanks to Thomas Gleixner for being on it like a weasel on a dead rat, and the regression list has kept shrinking.

So if you have reported a regression in the 2.6.21-rc series, please check 2.6.21-rc5, and update your report as appropriate (whether fixed or "still problems with xyzzy").

FWIW, I'm still leaning towards disabling libata ACPI support by default for 2.6.21.

Upstream has Alan's fix for the worst PATA problems, but for different reasons, I think PATA ACPI and SATA ACPI support in libata does not feel quite ready for prime time in 2.6.21.

Scream now, or hold your peace until 2.6.22... :)
