Stable kernels 2.6.16.10 and .11

So far today there have been only two stable kernel releases. The announcement for 2.6.16.10 appears to have been swallowed by the net, though the full patch is available. It contains a fairly large number of fixes (22 in the version posted for review) spread throughout the kernel. 2.6.16.11, instead, goes back to the "single security fix" mode; in this case, it turns out that the CIFS filesystem allows backslashes in file names, leading to obvious problems with Windows clients.

Here's a shorcut for the full log:
