[Maverick] SRU: Update to 2.6.35.6 stable kernel

Tue Sep 28 09:35:38 UTC 2010

I've prepared a branch which applied patches from 2.6.35.4, 2.6.35.5
and 2.6.35.6
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=roc/ubuntu-maverick.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/stable-2.6.35.6

I skipped some patches of "ALSA: HDA" which are supposed to be x86
platform related, 2 MMC patches which are in our tree and bounce
buffer fixing patch which I've backported already.

Please find the testing kernel here:
http://people.canonical.com/~roc/kernel/stable/

Thanks,
-Bryan
