2.7 feature list

2.7 features listed, ready for review.  Posting to source.mvista.com
for review there.

Streams Project
---------------
no feeling for which companies are providing streams, although
Articom is active.
applications deployed by communication companies for streams.
strong resistance from kernel maintainers to not have streams support.
not alot of advantages for performance, but allows application vendors
to port applications easily onto Linux if they require streams.
No comments on code itself.

Status of HPI
-------------
Coming along, plan to be ready by OLS, confident ready by OLS for
IPMI inclusion for backend processing.

Status of IPv6
--------------
mobile-ipv6
hacking going on to split patches between kernel and user.  effort
in multiple communities to agree upon aspects of design, executing well.

ipv6-prefix
resubmitted to maintainer, hope to be accepted soon.

dhcpv6
close to wrapping dhcp v6 up.  Code is available on sourceforge website.
maintenance mode for some time because basic features are available.

Status of TIPC
--------------
bitkeeper working and TIPC moving from bkbits to OSDL development
server.  FAQ being developed about TIPC development.  Will post to
CGL discussion when finished.  3rd tree called testing between
stable and unstable.  New patches going to testing tree.

Status of SDE
-------------
Project progressing.  Discussion about parent needed from scsi device
to scsi host to pci device.  parent's needed for all devices, not just
SCSI devices.  MontaVista working on attributes for this kind of
functionality.
