Ask and ye shall receive :)

git pull
ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ghaskins/linux-2.6-hacks.git
kvm/irqfd

If you dont have a kernel.org account, it should rsync to the
gitweb/git: server soon, in which case
s|ssh://master|git://git should get you the proper path.

Note that there is one additional race that I found that is not included
in that tree in the slow-work infrastructure.  You can find my latest
submission to David Howells to resolve that issue here:

Thanks Michael!
