"flak"?

{sigh}

No, it's just been an issue of fixing the issue in the correct manner.
You sent this patch a mere 2 days prior, and I've been away since then
and haven't even _had_ the chance to apply it to my tree and run it
through any testing.

Heck, it hasn't even been in the linux-next tree, and seen if it blows
up Andrew's notorious machine.

Next time, give me a chance to at least build your patch before getting
upset and routing around me.  The other 2 patches you have sent me have
had testing in linux-next and will go to Linus later today, and I have
half-a-mind to revert this one, but I just know you will be willing to
fix up any problems found in it now :)

What a nice way to return from a 3day vacation...
