Short overview (for news sites, etc)
Important things (AKA: ''the cool stuff'')
VMI (Virtual Machine Interface)
VMI is a virtualization feature built in top of the paravirt_ops paravirtualization implementation introduced in [http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_20 2.6.20].
Paravirtualizated kernels need to be modified to run under a hypervisor. The goal of VMI is to become the common paravirtualization interface for hypervisors like Xen and Vmware. Vmware will certainly use VMI; Xen was going to use VMI but they may develop their own VMI-like interface. Any hypervisor can use VMI by providing a (GPLed) ROM; the ROM describes how the low-level VMI kernel must use the hypervisor. A VMI-enabled kernel can also boot on bare hardware and no hypervisor with no performance impact [http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9226d125d94c7e4964dd41cc5e9ca2ff84091d01 (commit 1] [http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8b15114434998a78aa50f8559d69c7a400cff267 2], [http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=ae5da273fe3352febd38658d8d34484cbcfb3423 3], [http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=7b3552024380f306a6c50d5105d18d9d4258fa4e 4], [http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c119ecce894120790903ef535dac3e105f3d6cde 5], [http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=7ce0bcfd1667736f1293cff845139bbee53186de 6], [http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbab4f3bb7f528d2b8ccb5de9ae5f6ff3fb29684 7], [http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=90736e20e3805dd1ffff60e4750495944956cd44 8)]

KVM updates
KVM does evolve at a very fast pace, due to its clean design. This release (KVM-15) brings many new features:
Initial paravirtualization support, which has [http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/5/205 much faster] performance
- Live migration (the guest continues running even while being migrated) support. It's possible to migrate a guest from a Intel CPU to an AMD CPU
- Host Suspend/resume support
- CPU hotplug support - a useful feature for data centers, where you can add/remove CPUs according to the load
- A stable userspace interface

ASoC
The [http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/patches/alsa/info.html ASoC (ALSA System on Chip) layer] has been added to the ALSA sound system. Its aim is to provide improved support for sound processors on embedded systems. The ASoC core is designed to allow reuse of codec drivers on other platforms, reuse of platform specific audio DMA and DAI drivers on different machines, easy I2S/PCM digital audio interface configuration between codec and SoC, and allow machines to add controls and operations to the audio subsystem. e.g. volume control for speaker amp.
To achieve all this, ASoC splits an embedded audio system into 3 components: 1. Codec driver: The codec driver is platform independent and contains audio controls, audio interface capabilities, codec dapm and codec IO functions 2. Platform driver: The platform driver contains the audio dma engine and audio interface drivers (e.g. I2S, AC97, PCM) for that platform. 3. Machine driver: The machine driver handles any machine specific controls and audio events. i.e. turning on an amp at start of playback.
It includes a dynamic power management subsystem, designed to allow portable and handheld Linux devices to use the minimum amount of power within the audio subsystem at all times. It is independent of other kernel PM and as such, can easily co-exist with the other PM systems. DAPM is also completely transparent to all user space applications as all power switching is done within the ASoC core. No code changes or recompiling are required for user space applications. DAPM makes power switching decisions based upon any audio stream (capture/playback) activity and audio mixer settings within the device.
A number of platform and codec drivers for ASoC have been merged as well.

Dynticks and Clockevents
Recommended LWN article: [http://lwn.net/Articles/223185/ "Clockevents and dyntick"]
Clockevents is a building block of dynticks. A example of a clock devices is the device which makes timer interrupts. The handling of those devices was made in the architecture-specific code, so there wasn't an unified way of using those devices. The clockevents patch unifies the clockdevice handling so the kernel can use the timer capabilities of those devices in a unified manner. This also allows to implement true high-resolution timers.
Dynticks (aka: dynamic ticks) it's a configurable feature for x86 32bits (x86-64 and ARM support is already done but not ready for this release; PPC and MIPS support are in the works) that changes the heart of the mechanism that allow a system to implement multitasking. To know what dyntick does, first you should know some basics: Traditionally, multitasking is implemented thanks to a timer interrupt that is configured to fire N times in a second. Firing this interrupt causes a call to the operative system's process scheduler routines. Then, the scheduler decides what process should run next, the process that was running before the timer interrupt was fired, or another process. This is how true multitasking is implemented in all the general-purpose operative systems, it's also what stops processes from being able to monopolize the CPU time: The timer interrupt will be fired regardless of what the process is doing and the operative system will be able to stop it.
N (the number of times the timer interrupt is fired in each second, aka 'HZ') is a hardcoded compile-time architecture-dependent constant. For Linux 2.4 (and Windows), HZ=100 (the timer interrupt fires 100 times per second). 2.6 increased HZ to 1000, for several reasons: 100 was the HZ value that x86 had been using since forever, and it didn't really had a lot of sense in modern CPUs that runs much faster: Higher HZ means smaller process time slices, which improves the minimum latency and interactivity. The downside is higher timer overhead (negligible in modern hardware, although some server-oriented distros package kernels with HZ=100 because of minor performance gains) and high pitch noises in some systems due to low-quality, cheap capacitators
Anyway, the issue is that the timer is fired HZ times in every second - even if the system is doing nothing. Dynticks is a feature that stops the system from waking up HZ times per second. When the system is entering the idle loop it disables the periodic timer interrupt, and programs the timer to fire the next time a timer event is needed. This means your system will be 'disabled' while there's nothing to do (unless a interrupt happens - ej: a incoming packet through your network). For now, dynticks does just that. However, this infrastructure will allow to create a innovative power-saving feature: When dynticks is in "tickless" mode and the system is waiting for the timer interrupt, the power-saving feature of modern CPUs will be used. This can save a few W when the laptop is idle.
Dynticks adds some nice configurable debugging features: /proc/timer_list prints all the pending timers, allowing developers to check if their program is doing something wrong when it should be doing nothing, /proc/timer_stat, in the other hand, collects some timer statistics, allowing to detect the source of commonly-programmed timers.

Dynamic kernel command-line
The current implementation stores a command-line buffer allocated to COMMAND_LINE_SIZE (a compile-time constant) size - 256 bytes on x86. This is not enougth space today, some systems hit a limit when they use too many module parameters, video settings, initramfs parameters etc. It's possible to increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to a greater value, but there's a problem: a static buffer of that size (say, 2KB) will be allocated even if you aren't using all of it.
So in 2.6.21 the size of the boot command line it's allocated dynamically. A static buffer is still allocated (2K in i386), but the contents are copied into a dinamically-allocated buffer with the exact size, then the static buffer is freed with the rest of the initdata data

devres
"devres" is an optional subsystem for drivers that greatly simplifies the task of driver housekeeping, if you have to acquire+map then later unmap+free a bunch of device-related resources (MMIO, PIO , IRQs, iomap, PCI, DMA resources). The aim is to make easier for programmers to allocate & free resources & handle errors for a driver writer. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed [http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9ac7849e35f705830f7b016ff272b0ff1f7ff759 (commit)]

Allow taint flags to be set from userspace by writing to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, and add a new taint flag, TAINT_USER, to be used when userspace has potentially done something dangerous that might compromise the kernel. This will allow support personnel to ask further questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set.

xattr flags and mount options. Introduces the ability to store cryptographic metadata into an lower file extended attribute rather than the lower file header region.
