Kernel release status

The current 2.6 development kernel is 2.6.25-rc8, released on April 1. This one has a number of fixes and takes care of some of the most obnoxious remaining regressions; it could, conceivably, be the last -rc before the final 2.6.25 release. See the announcement for details, or the long-format changelog for lots of details.

The current -mm tree is 2.6.25-rc8-mm1. Recent changes to -mm include a big set of IDE patches, a new "special" page flag (see below), the device whitelist control group, writable mmap() support for the FUSE filesystem, the object debugging infrastructure patches, and lots of fixes.
