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! :-)
