Release of Linux MTI-3.10-LTS kernel.

Imagination Technologies is pleased to announce the release of its 3.10 
LTS (Long-Term Support) MIPS kernel. The changelog below is based off 
the stable Linux 3.10.14 release done by Greg Kroah-Hartman in commit
8c15abc94c737f9120d3d4a550abbcbb9be121f6 back on October 1st. The code 
repository is hosted at the Linux/MIPS project GIT:

http://git.linux-mips.org/?p=linux-mti.git;a=summary

We look forward to any comments or feedback.

         The Imagination MIPS Kernel Team
