What are your plans for 2.6.33?

The merge window is upon us, which by strict rules means that anything 
not already in libata-dev.git#upstream needs to wait until 2.6.34.

However, bug fixes and the like should definitely be in 2.6.33. 
->init_host is definitely 2.6.34 material.  Some of the other stuff 
could go either way.
