Sure. I was given the impression that Linus was going to be asked to merge this tree during this merge window, so I assumed that it had been seen by the appropriate people. Most of these patches include you, Linus and Andrew (among others) on their cc's and they seem to have gone through several revisions. I guess Mathieu has jumped the gun. I'll drop it again tomorrow. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
