Yeah...however, firstly, my tree will be sent to rmk during 38 merge window,
if I merge from sound git, for avoiding build error I should send all
including them not only my patches. I think there is no need to rmk...hmm

So I did 'cherry-pick' only needed 2 commits in my tree.

Anyway Merry Xmas ;-)
