Linux 3.4-rc7

This is almost certainly the last -rc in this series - things really
have calmed down, and I even considered just cutting 3.4 this weekend,
but felt that another week wouldn't hurt.

The appended shortlog gives a good overview - it's mostly random tiny
fixes for very small specific issues. The biggest commit (and the one
that might affect the most people) is likely the Nouveau i2c change,
and that one is really just a revert. It changes nouveau back to use
the generic i2c-algo-bit routines - the problem they had had been
fixed in the meantime, and the specialized i2c nouveau routines had
issues of their own.

The rest is mainly small changes in various areas: drivers
(networking, drm, scsi, sound and md) arch updates (arm, powerpc and
x86) and random other areas - core networking, a compat fix, stuff
like that. No scary changes.

So go forth and test. And don't send me any pull requests unless they
contain *only* regressions or fixes for really nasty bugs. No more of
these silly compiler warning fixes etc any more.
