However, it broke the build and was reverted in 2.6.32.48.

Was dropped, because it doesn't work.

There were a few extra changes added after rc1:

ext4: fix BUG_ON() in ext4_ext_insert_extent()

Fixes crash that can be triggered by file access (local DoS).

drivers/net/rionet.c: fix ethernet address macros for LE platforms

Fixes this driver to work on little-endian architectures.

ext2,ext3,ext4: don't inherit APPEND_FL or IMMUTABLE_FL for new inodes

Fixes some weird file/directory permission interaction.  Maybe a
security problem?  I don't know.

USB: Serial: Add device ID for Sierra Wireless MC8305
USB: Serial: Add PID(0xF7C0) to FTDI SIO driver for a zeitcontrol-device

More hardware support.

Ben.
