Well, that's right. > Please explain why I should accept this outside the merge window. This material has been in the works for quite a while and it missed the merge window mostly due to unfavorable timing, so it is not a last-minute thing. It is self-contained and it doesn't interfere with the existing features, so it is not likely to introduce regressions in my view. I didn't think that there was much to gain by postponing it, because it wouldn't change substantially between now and the next merge window and the testing coverage of it in linux-next would be limited. On the other hand, having it in the tree would encourage people to build on top of it, exercise it and provide feedback, so I decided to include it here. However, if you'd rather skip it this time, I'll be happy to resend the pull request without it. Rafael
