Those patches are still several akpm-hours ahead in my backlog queue. 
They don't seem to have generated much attention and someone (ie: you)
had substantial comments which haven't been replied to yet.  So I'd

But I don't mind either way.  I guess the main question here is: do we
see a need to squeeze any of these things into 2.6.30?
