AFACIT none of these patches have ever been in linux-next.  Half or
more of them turned up on the mailing list for the first time two days
ago and there's little evidence that anyone has even looked at them.

If this doesn't mean "you missed 2.6.31" then what does?



Yes, things like this can be messy and hard to develop and maintain
outside the merge window.  We understand this.  There are special
cases.  But when this happens, let's talk about it and see what we can
do!  Please let's not pretend that this is an ordinary old git merge
like all the others.
