Stephen Rothwell asked that subsystem maintainers carry the patches to
make it easier to do merges, but in the cases where that's not
possible or a maintainer would like me to carry it, I've been putting
them into my linux-next tree. It's up to you; if you take it into your
tree, I'll drop it from mine. Just let me know either way. :)

Thanks!
