Thanks for sending out v4 and incorporating the feedback, I really 
appreciate your responsiveness!

Anyway, I don't think targetting 3.19 is realistic, given we're currently 
already past 3.18-rc6 ... even if we rush it into -next in the coming 
days, it will get close to zero exposure in there before the merge window 
opens.

I'd like to do quite some more testing and still finish some pending 
portions of code reviews on our side (especially to make sure that this 
can be easily extended to support any consistency model in the future).

Once we start collecting Reviewed-by's / Acked-by's on this patchset, I 
can establish a tree on git.kernel.org that we can use to collect any 
followup patches during 3.20 development cycle and send a pull request to 
Linus during 3.20 merge window .. if everybody agrees with this course of 
action, obviously.

Thanks,
