[Bug 649208] [NEW] Maverick update to 2.6.35.6 stable release

[Leann Ogasawara]

Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

Impact:

The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope
to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a
bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly
from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The
2.6.35.6 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be
included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.
