Linus Torvalds: Linux 6.8-rc6

Ho humm..   Absolutely nothing stands out here, although I do wish
things should have calmed down a bit more at this point in the release
process.

But while there's a bit more changes here than I would have wished
for, there's not anything big or scary going on that I can see: just
small things all over. In fact, a fair chunk of the changes are in the
selftests, not kernel code itself (mainly kvm, but also some continued
work on the networking side). The documentation subdirectory also
stands out a bit, although that's at least partly due to Greg having
worked on the whole CVE process and documenting that.

The docs and selftests together account for about a quarter of the patch.

But of course, most of the changes are in drivers. Sound, network
drivers, and GPU driver fixes dominate the diffstat, but there's
really a bit of everything in there - we've got HID, i2c, PCI, SCSI,
staging, you name it.

Outside of drivers, we've got some filesystem fixes (btrfs, zonefs,
ceph, smb client, bcachefs) and some core networking updates. And
minor arch updates.

Anyway, I think (and hope) we'll start seeing things calm down, and
the next few rc's are smaller.

Please commence testing,
