    Ok, 

    after two fairly hectic weeks for me, 2.1.127 is finally out there. 

    This kernel does:

        various small but important networking fixes from Davem (thanks).
         One of them is the "anti-nagle" bit to allow programs that know
         what they are doing to avoid nagling by telling the kernel so.
         This is mainly things like Web servers and ftp-servers that can
         use this option together with "sendfile()". 

        scheduling timeout interface change: the new interface is much 
         more logical than the old one, and allows us to get the jiffies
         wrap-around case right. Thanks to Andrea Arcangeli. 

        various driver updates: specialix, sonycd, 

        Memory management fixups. Handle out-of-memory conditions
         correctly, and handle high memory load much more gracefully. 

        sparc and PowerPC architecture updates 

        3c509 SMP fix, tlan PCI probe update. 

        scsi driver updates: ncr53c8xx, aic7xxx, dc390 

        filesystem updates: autofs, hfs, umsdos 

    Go, test, be happy, 

    Linus
