Yes, thanks.

So far I applied only this patch to

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/oleg/misc.git ptrace

But I am going to take the whole series unless I have the nack from
maintainers. Everything looks correct.

IOW, I am going to wait a bit to collect the ACKs from the maintainers
in case (I hope ;) they want to review these changes.

OK?

Oleg.
