Move NEWS from linux-2.6 to linux-latest-2.6 

Every kernel ABI bump introduces new binary packages, which are
normally installed as dependencies of an upgraded linux-image package
built from linux-latest-2.6.

Since apt-listchanges only shows NEWS for upgraded packages, not newly
installed packages, we should put it in the linux-latest-2.6 packages.
Backdate the description of the libata transition to the release of
linux-latest-2.6 which depends on it.

This also means that NEWS won't be shown for linux-libc-dev upgrades
which it doesn't affect. (Closes: #586401)

linux-2.6 (2.6.32-11) unstable; urgency=low
* This release replaces the old IDE (PATA) drivers with new drivers
using 'libata' on all architectures. This change was previously made
for the i386 and amd64 architectures.
The automatic upgrade code does not support the configuration files
of many of the boot loaders used on other architectures, so you may
be prompted to make changes manually.

linux-2.6 (2.6.32-10) unstable; urgency=low
* The old IDE (PATA) drivers are no longer developed. Most PATA
controllers used in PCs (i386 and amd64 architectures) can be handled
by new drivers using 'libata', which is already used for SATA
controllers. This release enables all the new drivers that are
considered stable and disables the old drivers that they replace.
Other architectures should not be affected.
While the old drivers presented device names beginning with 'hd',
libata makes PATA drives appear as SCSI devices and presents device
names beginning with 'sd' (hard drive), 'sr' (optical) or 'st' (tape).
In a system that already has other SCSI or SCSI-like devices, names
may change unpredictably.
During the upgrade from earlier versions, you will be prompted to
update configuration files which refer to device names that may
change. You can choose to do this yourself or to follow an automatic
upgrade process. Unfortunately the automatic upgrade process does not
cover tape drives. All changed configuration files are backed up with
a suffix of '.old' (or '^old' in one case).
