[DC LoCo] Linux Kernel 3.0rc1 Tagged on GiT

[Michael Haney]

Linus has tagged the first release candidate for Linux Kernel 3.0 on
GiT.  Its the end of the road for the 2.6 kernel series.  Some of the
more notable features are .... (from the article)

- Cleancache support, with initial implementations for the EXT4 and
Btrfs file-systems, among others.
- A Microsoft Kinect Linux driver.
- Various open-source graphics driver improvements. This includes
Sandy Bridge performance optimizations, initial support for Intel Ivy
Bridge, early work for AMD Fusion Llano APUs, and many other Intel /
Radeon / Nouveau changes. But this kernel still has various
open-source GPU driver bugs.

The Linux 3.0 kernel will also lack a number of features including the
Reiser4 file-system, the VIA KMS/DRM driver, an accelerated Poulsbo /
PowerVR DRM driver, multi-GPU rendering, and various other long sought
after items. The major Linux kernel power regressions have yet to be
resolved as well.
