* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6: (43 commits)
  staging: slicoss: update README
  otus/zdusb.c: additional USB idnetifier
  Staging: go7007: fix build issues
  Staging: sxg: Fix leaks and checksum errors in transmit code path
  Staging: sxg: Fix sleep in atomic context warning while loading driver
  Staging: sxg: Use correct queue_id for transmitting non-TCP packets
  Staging: sxg: Fire watchdog timer at end of open routine to change the link
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Add load balancing between network states with the same priority.
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Added IO permissions and priorities.
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Added ->show_stats() callback.
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Drop ftrans debugging code.
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Use wait_on_page_timeout when waiting for remote directory sync instead of hardcoded 25 seconds.
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Reduce debugging noise about non-existing objects.
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Sync fs before killing it, since dentry cache is shrunk before writeback is invoked via generic_shutdown_super()
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Extend remount option.
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Set NETFS_INODE_REMOTE_SYNCED and clear NETFS_INODE_OWNED bits in the root inode.
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Added 'need_lock' variable into debug print.
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Disable read lock in pohmelfs_getattr().
  Staging: Pohmelfs: Move parent lock to the place where we really have to send a lookup request to the server.
  Staging: pohmelfs: Populate dentry cache when receiving the new readdir entry.
