Hi,
Linus has already pulled the latest set of patches from some branches for the kernel 4.6, so I released the alpha1 for testing today.
Download: vmlinux-4.6-alpha1-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.6-alpha1-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz)

Linus Torvalds added some new source code for the kernel 4.6 to the Linux Git last night.
New: Linux Git log (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/)
I created the alpha2 from the latest Git source code today.
Download: vmlinux-4.6-alpha2-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.6-alpha2-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz)
Would you mind testing it? For me it would be interesting, if the P.A. Semi Ethernet works.

FYI: The old Nemo patch 4.5-9 doesn't work anymore. You need the new Nemo patch 4.6-1 instead.

Hi All,
I released the alpha3 without the kvm-pr kernel module today.

I wasn't able to compile the kvm-pr kernel module because there is something wrong in the source code. I think the problem is in the latest KVM updates.
Link: Merge tag for-linus of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=10dc3747661bea9215417b659449bb7b8ed3df2c).
The kvm-pr kernel module from the alpha2 works without any problems. I tested it with Mac-on-Linux and Mac OS X Tiger yesterday.
I informed the developers about this problem via two mailing lists, today.
Links:

Linus Torvalds released the final version of kernel 4.6 today.
New:
- Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 4.6 (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=search&q=Linux+4.6)
- Linux 4.6 Kernel Officially Released -- phoronix (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-4.6-Released)
- Linux Git log (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/?id=refs/tags/v4.6)
- Torvalds' brief 4.6 announcement via the kernel mailing list (http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1605.1/05030.html)
- FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N support
Many many many thanks for testing the alphas and release candidates. :-)
It also includes:
Support running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the guest in user mode (problem state) and emulating all privileged instructions and registers.
This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable, and can emulate processors that are different from the host processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit host.
- Mac-on-Linux support
- network support for AROS hosted
- support for 4 serial ports
- Bluetooth USB dongle support
- kernel tracing with ftrace
- ubuntu MATE 15.04, 15.10, 16.04 LTS, and 16.10 support
- Debian 8 support
- Btrfs support
- systemd support
- Wacom Intuos/Graphire tablet support (USB)
- Support for the new interrupt handling
- Boot by UUID or disk label with an initrd
