I've viewed the patch for 1.3.100, and I was a bit surprised:
We have now support for broken gcc-2.5.8 for the in2000 driver (really strange fix), and changes in the IPC code that supports broken applications (it seems like it's part of kerneld support, but I'm not saying kerneld is broken unless somebody states that kerned really needs it). We have now JAVA support even in code freeze, and it uses absolute paths compiled into the kernel (I think the concept is really broken!). Possibly some floppy formatting applications get trouble because of new formatting code.
Minor thing: Is it necessary to include math_emu.h in asm-i386/processor.h unconditionally. Isn't math emulation configurable, or is that file used outside the emulator? Sounds a bit broken, too.
I've not read Linus' release notes; let me read them before you flame me!
