This -ac is a little different. It's still an experimental -ac to test the accumulated patches it would be nice to have in -ac but which might break something and seemed too risky. As such please test it but in general wait for the next -ac before planning to update production systems.
Arjan van de Ven is now building RPMS of the kernel and those can be found in the RPM subdirectory and should be yum-able. Expect the RPMS to lag the diff a little as the RPM builds and tests do take time.
The it8212 still doesn't default to DMA on - that is on the TODO list. The HPT366 rework project is also not ready (its gone back to the drawing board until the current panic is over if you are a volunteer and wondered what is up).
