The quick overview for 2.6.34:
- LogFS file system optimized for SSDs
- Ceph file system for huge clustered systems
- Nouveau kernel driver (this one is a bit controversial)
- The ability to switch between multiplexed GPUs on notebooks
- Note this requires X to be restarted

Are there any definite plans on actually using nouveau and/or radeon?
I know they get shipped and we can use them but will the standards stick to nv
/ radeonhd?

What's the current state on radeonhd anyways? There is traffic on the
mailinglist but radeon looks just moving much more quickly these days, even
though I can't judge on actual quality.
But forcing people to use one over the other will always lead to missing
features, in this case that opensuse won't have kms on every graphics card out
of the box, while afaik most distributions use radeon (XOrg default)

- The ability to suspend devices on a running system for
better power savings; It can be enabled globally or per-device
- IGMP snooping on bridges for selective forwarding of multicast packets
- Connection tracking for TCP-based SIP connections
- RFC5082 "Generalized TTL Security Mechanism," DoS protection for BGP
- The usual load of new drivers
