  - Al Viro: System V FS update (write capability, page cache, mondo cleanups)
  - Kai Germaschewski: ISDN cleanups, TURBOPAM driver by Stelian Pop
  - Ben Fennema: UDF update (time handling, i_blocks fix)
  - Neil Brown: md error handling improvements, knfsd file handle compatibility
  - Paul Mackerras: PPC update
  - Jakub Jelinek: fix up kernel linker scripts to accept .rodata better
