OK, so now I have another new version of this patch (split up as many
patches) in the driver-core tree (destined for linux-next) which has also
not been posted to LKML (which is where I assumed it would be posted).  I

What do I do?  I keep telling everyone that stuff should only be in
linux-next *after* it has been reviewed and stabilised ...
