Hi Michael,

So why have you rebased this?  All this stuff in in linux-next based on
v3.2-rc3 since December 5 (and that version will be in linux-next today
as well unless you update your linux-next branch in the next sort while).

Is there something in v3.2 that interacts with this series of patches?
If so, then you had better delay your pull request and do more testing.
If not, then *don't rebase*.

(and if you do rebase, please make sure that what goes into linux-next is
the *same commits* (not just the same patches) as what Linus is merging)
