"What else? Lots and lots of driver work. Over 70% of all of the 2.6.30 to 2.6.31 patch is under drivers/, and there's another 6%+ in firmware/ and sound/. That's not entirely unusual, but it does seem to be growing. My rough rule of thumb used to be '50% drivers, 50% everything else,' but that's clearly not true any more (and hasn't been for a while – we've been 60%+ since after 2.6.27 – I think the whole 'staging' thing is what moved things up by several percentage points)." - said Linus Torvalds in the official announcement on lkml.org.
