+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- As always lots of new drivers :))
+
+Processors and systems: VIA/WonderMedia VT8500/WM85xx System-on-Chips,
+IMX27 IPCAM boards, and MX51 Genesi Efika Smartbook systems.
+
+Block: Broadcom NetXtreme II FCoE controllers and
+Freescale MXS Multimedia Card interfaces.
+
+Graphics: Intel GMA500 controllers (2D acceleration only),
+USB-connected graphics devices, MXS LCD framebuffer devices,
+and LD9040 AMOLED panels.
+
+Input: Hyper-V virtualized mice, Roccat Kova[+] mouse devices,
+Roccat Arvo keyboards, Wolfson WM831x PMIC touchscreen controllers,
+Atmel AT42QT1070 touch sensor chips, and
+Texas Instruments TSC2005 touchscreen controllers.
+
+Networking: Texas Instruments WiLink7 bluetooth controllers (from staging),
+Bosch C_CAN controllers, Faraday FTMAC100 10/100 Ethernet controllers,
+and the Xen "netback" back-end driver.
+
+Miscellaneous: Faraday FUSB300 USB peripheral controllers,
+OMAP USBHS host controllers, NVIDIA Tegra USB host controllers,
+Texas Instruments PRUSS-connected devices, MSM UARTs,
+Maxim MAX517/518/519 DACs, RealTek PCI-E card readers,
+Analog Devices ad7606, ad7606-6, and ad7606-4 analog to digital converters,
+Maxim MAX6639 temperature monitors, Maxim MAX8688, MAX16064, MAX34440 and
+MAX34441 hardware monitoring chips,
+Lineage compact power line power entry modules,
+PMBus-compliant hardware monitoring devices,
+Linear Technology LTC4151 is high voltage I2C current and voltage monitors,
+Intel SCU watchdog devices, Ingenic jz4740 SoC hardware watchdogs,
+Xen watchdog devices, NVIDIA Tegra internal I2C controllers,
+Freescale i.MX28 I2C interfaces, MXS Application UART (AUART) ports,
+SuperH SPI controllers, Altera SPI controllers, OpenCores tiny SPI controllers,
+SMSC SCH5627 Super-I/O hardware monitoring chips,
+Texas Instruments ADS1015 12-bit 4-input ADC devices,
+Diolan U2C-12 USB adapters, SPEAr13XX PCIe controllers (in "gadget" mode),
+and Freescale MXS-based SoC i.MX23/28 DMA engines.
+
+Sound: Firewire-connected sound devices, Wolfson Micro WM8991 codecs,
+Cirrus CS4271 codecs, Freescale SGTL5000 codecs, TI tlv320aic32x4 codecs,
+Maxim MAX9850 codecs, and TerraTec 6fire DMX USB interfaces.
+
+Outgoing: A number of TTY drivers
+(epca, ip2, istallion, riscom8, serial167, specialix, stallion, generic_serial,
+rio, ser_a2232, sx, and vme_scc) have been moved to the staging tree in
+anticipation of removal in 2.6.41.
+
+The smbfs and autofs3 filesystems, which were moved to staging in 2.6.37, have
+now been moved out of the kernel entirely.
+
+- BKL http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=4ba8216cd90560bc402f52076f64d8546e8aefcb
+
+- New syscall: int syncfs(int fd);
+
+- The USB core has gained support for USB 3.0 hubs
+
+- New Dynamic Debugging Features
+
+	tpm_nsc.c
+	346: dev_dbg(&pdev->dev, "NSC TPM detected\n");
+
+	echo file tpm_nsc.c line 346 +p > .../dynamic_debug/control
+	echo file tpm_nsc.c line 346-373 +p > .../dynamic_debug/control
+	echo file tpm_nsc.c function init_nsc +p > .../dynamic_debug/control
+
+- new set of string-to-integer converters which is expected to be used in
+		preference to all others.
+
+		Unsigned conversions can be done with any of
+		kstrtoull(), kstrtoul(), kstrtouint(), kstrtou64(), kstrtou32(),
+		kstrtou16(), kstrtou8().
+
+		Conversions to signed integers can be done with
+		kstrtoll(), kstrtol(), kstrtoint(), kstrtos64(), kstrtos32(), kstrtos16(),
+		or kstrtos8().
+
+	All of these functions are marked __must_check, so callers are expected to
+	check to ensure that the conversion happened successfully. The older
+	functions are marked deprecated, and will eventually be removed. These new
+	kstrto*() functions are now the Official Best Way To Convert Strings, so
+	developers need wonder no longer.
