hm, i do searches on lkml before posting patches but i cannot do 
searches on _every_ mailing list where patches might show up. There's 
just 30 hours in a day ;-)

perhaps linux-next should propagate all add-on fix patches it is 
carrying against subsystem trees if they are still relevant to -git, 
once the subsystem tree goes to -git, and re-post them to lkml in that 
case, to avoid duplicative work? Once it's on lkml i think most 
subsystem maintainers will find any missing patches.
