[Bug 575853] [NEW] [Lucid] Update to 2.6.32.12 Stable Kernel

Wed May 5 15:24:20 UTC 2010

Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in
scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably
fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either
directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that
patch. The 2.6.32.12 upstream stable patch set is now available. It
should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.

Due to the fact that we are carrying the DRM backport from 2.6.33, all
patches affecting DRM have been dropped from the 2.6.32.12 port and
picked from 2.6.33.3 instead.

TEST CASE: TBD
