Linus Torvalds 21f27291f5 Driver Core fixes for 3.5-rc5 ... Here is a number of printk() fixes, specifically a few reported by the crazy blog program that ships in SUSE releases (that's "boot log" and not "web log", it predates the general "blog" terminology by many years), and the restoration of the continuation line functionality reported by Stephen and others. Yes, the changes seem a bit big this late in the cycle, but I've been beating on them for a while now, and Stephen has even optimized it a bit, so all looks good to me. The other change in here is a Documentation update for the stable kernel rules describing how some distro patches should be backported, to hopefully drive a bit more response from the distros to the stable kernel releases.
