Hey everybody, there's finally a new -rc out there..

I've been back online for a week, and at least judging by the kinds of
patches and pull requests I've been getting, I have to say that I
think that having been strict for -rc3 ended up working out pretty
well. The diffstat of rc3..rc4 looks quite reasonable, despite the
longer window between rc's. And while there were certainly some things
that needed fixing, I'm hoping that we'll have a timely 2.6.35 release
despite my vacation (my longest time away from the kernel in many
years, I do believe - I followed email on a cellphone, but did not a
single kernel compile, and had a great time under water).

So go out and test -rc4. It fixes a number of regressions, a couple of
them harking back to from before 2.6.34. Networking, cfq, i915 and
radeo. And filesystem writeback performance issues, etc. It's all
good.
