We've gone ahead and moved the 6.6 kernel into the main tree. As previously
mentioned when this branch first appeared in /testing, on the 32-bit side
there are no longer any -smp labeled kernel packages, so if you were using
those previously, you'll need to switch to using to kernel-generic or
kernel-huge kernel, including the changes needed to your bootloader setup to
load this instead of the -smp labeled kernel. Also, if you happen to be using
a first generation Pentium M chip, you will need to append forcepae to your
kernel command-line options. Enjoy! :-)

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

%PACKAGE_NAME%:
%PACKAGE_NAME%: Kernel modules are pieces of code that can be loaded and unloaded into
%PACKAGE_NAME%: the kernel upon demand. They extend the functionality of the kernel
%PACKAGE_NAME%: without the need to reboot the system. These modules provide support
%PACKAGE_NAME%: for hardware such as USB devices, SCSI and RAID controllers, network
%PACKAGE_NAME%: interfaces, and display devices, or add other additional capabilities
%PACKAGE_NAME%: to the kernel.
