Two lines earlier:

# propagate these:

is akpm shorthand for "send these through maintainers".

I prefer to go that way if the patch isn't urgent, just to get a bit
more attention and review.  If the patch has a maintainer ack already
then I'll often merge it directly.

And none of the above patches were sent to me with acked-by:s, and
nobody sent new acked-by:s, so I didn't know this!

I guess John is the conduit for all five of the above so I'll send them
to him now and he might decide to squeak them into 2.6.35.

But before I do that, please send me an email telling me who acked each
patch and I'll update that info.

Thanks.
