Forgive me for using double negation, but there is no unstable work that is *not* going into 2.6, if it's worthy, of course. That's one of the basics of the "new development model". Linus said at kernel summit last year that if anything disruptive enough came along he might consider a 2.7, but anything else can just go to -mm and then to 2.6. So far, nothing disruptive enough has come along, but plenty of far reaching changes have been made (consider for example 4 level page tables).
