Linux 6.11-rc1

The merge window felt pretty normal, and the stats all look pretty
normal too. I was expecting things to be quieter because of summer
vacations, but that (still) doesn't actually seem to have been the
case.

There's 12k+ regular commits (and another 850 merge commits), so as
always the summary of this all is just my merge log. The diffstats are
also (once again) dominated by some big hardware descriptions (another
AMD GPU register dump accounts for ~45% of the lines in the diff, and
some more perf event JSON descriptor files account for another 5%).

But if you ignore those HW dumps, the diff too looks perfectly
regular: drivers account for a bit over half (even when not counting
the AMD register description noise). The rest is roughly one third
architecture updates (lots of it is dts files, so I guess I could have
lumped that in with "more hw descriptor tables"), one third tooling
and documentation, and one third "core kernel" (filesystems,
networking, VM and kernel). Very roughly.

If you want more details, you should get the git tree, and then narrow
things down based on interests.
