1) Security fixes
=================
+ 2.4.30-vuln-CAN-2005-1263-1                           (Greg KH, Chris Wright)

  From Paul Starzetz: A locally exploitable flaw has been found in the Linux
  ELF binary format loader's core dump function that allows local users to
  gain root privileges and also execute arbitrary code at kernel privilege
  level.


2) Critical fixes
=================
+ 2.4.30-panic-if-more-than-one-moxa-1                         (David Monniaux)

  [PATCH] fix moxa crash with more than one 1 board.
  The current Moxa Intellio driver (moxa.c) panics when using > 1 board.
  Fixed build by declaring variable prior to usage - Willy.


3) Major bug fixes
==================
+ 2.4.30-bonding-rmmod-oops-1                                  (Mitch Williams)

  It fixes a stack dump when unloading the bonding module in 802.3ad mode
  if spinlock debugging is turned on, and it was already merged in 2.6.


4) Minor bug fixes
==================
+ 2.4.30-madvise-must-return-EIO-1                               (Hugh Dickins)

  [PATCH] madvise_willneed -EIO beyond EOF.
  When the rlim_rss was removed from madvise_willneed, we unintentionally
  changed its error when applied to an area wholly beyond end of file: it
  used to report -EIO (whereas 2.6 reports success), it currently reports
  the confusingly inappropriate -EBADF.  Revert to -EIO in that case.

+ 2.4.30-rwsem-spinlocks-must-disable-interrupts-2              (David Howells)

  [PATCH] rwsem: Make rwsems use interrupt disabling spinlocks.
  The attached patch makes read/write semaphores use interrupt disabling
  spinlocks in the slow path, thus rendering the up functions and trylock
  functions available for use in interrupt context.  This matches the
  regular semaphore behaviour. Typo fixed by Mikael Pettersson.
