Ya, with the reply bits in there my mail merge (which unfortunately 
isn't b4, I haven't gotten around to converting yet) got tripped up.  
It's kind of easy to for me to screw something up trying to pull bits 
out of replies and such, but I think this one was pretty simple (looks 
like maybe some PGP or MIME thing was the issue).

I just put 
<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=7699f7aacf3ebfee51c670b6f796b2797f0f7487> 
on my staging branch, it looks OK to me but LMK if there's a problem.

Thanks!
