I've not applied this patch and had no intention of applying it, the
whole point in me acking it was that I was expecting it to get applied
as part of the series since AFAICT everything needed to go in together.
Your pattern of acking patches you're expecting to be apply yourself is
fairly unusual, if it's someone else it's generally safe to assume
they're expecting the patch to go via another tree.

If this still needs sorting after the merge window please resend it, or
ideally it can go in along with the rest of the series via whatever path
that's taking.
