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.
