Yes, sadly it was not in time.
And of course it's no excuse, that you didn't received a real pull-request,
even after Kyle asked for feedback for his tree with his mail on LKML and
parisc-list on 2009-09-28:
http://www.pubbs.net/kernel/200909/123965/

This patch really only touches parisc-specific files and it includes
important fixes without which the parisc kernel won't even compile and link.
So, it would help us parisc-porters a lot if you could do an exception and
still pull from Kyle's tree, even after this merge window has been closed.
At least, it would make me personally very happy...
