Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 2.6.37-rc2, released on November 15. "And it all looks the way I like to see my -rc2's: nothing really interesting there." It's mostly fixes, but there's also some residual big kernel lock removal work, the final removal of hard barrier support from the block layer, and a couple of new LED drivers. See the full changelog for the details.

A significant driver API change was merged after the -rc2 release: the SCSI midlayer queuecommand() function is now invoked without the host lock; the function's prototype has changed as well.

Stable updates: there have been no stable updates released since October 29.
