The patch in question hasn't hit Linus' tree yet, but it's queued up in Stephen Rothwell's for-next tree.  As I understand it, Andrew's tree gets fed into that on a somewhat regular basis, and Andrew took my four patches (plus a patchcheck fixup he committed) already.  So, I pulled Stephen's for-next, put my patches plus the patchcheck fix on top, then wrote a fixup patch that fixes what I saw as being wrong in the patch in question.

I made a new patch that fixes the patch I NAKed.  My entire patch set can be applied on top of his now (I was wrong about them conflicting, I think there was just enough space for the context not to overlap in a way that would conflict as I thought it would).  So, since the change isn't life threatening or anything, and can be easily fixed up, I'll withdraw my NAK and just submit the additional patch to correct it once I get home and have access to a mail program that does something besides attachments or mangled text as the only patch sending options.

Now, the question of whether or not you want a patch in -stable that hasn't hit Linus' tree yet is up to you...
