Heh. Sorry for being so confusing. Merge windows are a bit stressful and
I sometimes end up writing run-on sentences.

<nods>. That is b/c it does not have your Ack. The patch applies cleanly to
3.2-rc1 (as all the other patches that it depends on are now in 3.2-rc1).

I am humbly asking for you to:
 a) review the patch (which you did) and get an idea whether you are OK (sounds like you are)
 b) pick it up in your -mm tree.

or alternately:
 b) give an Ack on the patch so I can put it in my linux-next and push it
    for 3.2-rc1.

Thank you for you consideration!
