Known issues
Please list all patch series or bugs which need to be fixed for the release here. That way I can be sure I don't miss any when I'm rolling release candidates.
Also see Planning/2.6/Testing.
Still unfixed in master
- compilation failure on 3.20 gtk (fedora 24) - deprecated functions
- Postcopy broken on 4.5 or newer kernels if THP enabled
- buffer overrun in cadence_uart
Fixed in rc1
- Compile failures if libnfs is enabled
- net/netmap.c broken on FreeBSD [1]
- don't use 8-byte atomic access on 32-bit platforms (fixes freebsd, ppc32, etc)
- ensure chardev socket backends are in non-blocking mode [2]
- cannot connect resolve client hostnames on FreeBSD [3] (broken since 2.4.0 by commit 3de3d698d942d1116152417f882c897b26b44e41)
Fixed in rc2
- add i82801b11 missing migration data

Will be fixed in rc3
