I'll queue them - there's only 5 locking patches pending from PeterZ:

 #
 # <= locking/core
 #
 davidlohr_bueso-rwsem-support_optimistic_spinning.patch
 davidlohr_bueso-rwsem-fix_warnings_for_config_rwsem_generic_spinlock.patch
 rwsem-akpm.patch
 qrwlock1.patch
 qrwlock2.patch

and I first delayed them two weeks ago because there was breakage, and 
then earlier this week because the merge window started - there's no 
'huge queue' really.

Anyway, I too agree that we can merge them.

Thanks,

	Ingo
