For those who don't follow lkml, -mm is an experimental tree. As 2.6 is now in a code freeze, I foresee a slow convergence of -mm and -vanilla. For the time being, -mm has stuff like Ingo's 4/4 split (4 GB of virtual address space for userspace, and 4GB of virtual address space for the kernel), kgdb (kernel debugger) and kgdb over ethernet (as oopsed to serial) and AIO (asynchronous I/O) and lots and lots of small fixes that will make their way to Linus or /dev/null, eventually.
