Kernel Log: Coming in 3.5 (Part 5) - Infrastructure

When releasing Linux 3.5-rc6, Linus Torvalds made no indication as to when he might publish Linux 3.5, but he had previously pointed out some of implications the holiday period in the northern hemisphere might have on the main development phase of Linux 3.6. It's possible that the sixth pre-release version may have been the last rc for Linux 3.5; therefore, with a description about the changes to the infrastructure of Linux 3.5, this article will conclude the "Coming in 3.5" Kernel Log mini-series as this kernel version will likely appear soon.
The first four parts of the series already discussed the improvements in networking, filesystems and storage, architecture, and drivers. In the networking area, however, there was one latecomer that should get a mention: the ipheth driver in Linux 3.5 not only supports tethering with various iPhone models, but now also support iPads.
