I'll be pulling from Linus on my tree. I did it yesterday, after my last changes,
but it seems that I've made a huge mistake... Several conflicts that I've already
fixed reappeared. I suspect that I've merged it with an older temporary branch
by mistake.

Anyway, it is fixed, by simply going back to the last reflog before the error,
and re-merging the new patches again. A pull from Linus didn't show any conflict.

So, it should be now OK for you to merge.

I'm already in process of changing my procedure. The problem is that I didn't find
yet a perfect way to handle my tree. I'm getting some new ideas, and intend to implement
them for 2.6.35 development cycle (linux-next for 2.6.36).
