I'm taking it (and the parisc one I was also unhappy with), but I'm a bit 
grumpy as usual. The parisc pull came totally outside the merge window, 
and the SCSI fix pull is technically perfectly fine, but what makes me 
grumpy is that I get the strong feeling that people aren't even _trying_ 
to hit the merge window with new drivers, because they decide that they 
instead can just push them any time.

So I don't think I necessarily want to change the "new driver" policy per 
se, but I want people to see the merge window as the _primary_ time you 
get any new code in. The "yes, we'll take new drivers" thing should be the 
exception rather than the rule. It doesn't seem to be an exception.
