Sure.

I've been sitting on a couple of taskstats patches for ages.  Mel's
delay-accounting-re-implement-c-for-getdelaysc-to-report-information-on-a-target-command.patch
and Jeff's delayacct-align-to-8-byte-boundary-on-64-bit-systems.patch.

I have notes against both of these indicating that Balbir had concerns
and as far as I know those concerns remain unresolved.  So I'll drop
those patches now - can you guys please reactivate them if you still
think we should be making these changes?
