Hi All,

http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588832

The 2.6.32.14 stable kernel has recently been released.

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.32.14
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.32.14.bz2

The 2.6.32.14 upstream stable kernel brings in 36 patches (DRM excluded).
As we carry the DRM stack from 2.6.33, all patches that affect DRM have been
dropped and replaced by DRM patches from 2.6.33.5 (3 patches).]

The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the
Ubuntu SRU process. e.g: each patch demonstrably fixes a bug and is vetted by
upstream either by originating directly from Linus' tree or by being minimally
backported from some patch in Linus' tree.

Upstream also released 2.6.32.15 and as this only reverts two more patches we
did not take in the first place will be claimed to be included in this update.

TEST CASE: TBD

The following patch was already carried and is replaced by the version from stable:
 * drm/i915: Disable FBC on 915GM and 945GM.

I am attaching the review and I have pushed a preview tree to

git://kernel.ubuntu.com/smb/ubuntu-lucid.git stable14
