In Markus' defence, he does occasionally write okay patches, (for
example the kmalloc(a * b) => kmalloc_array(a, b) changes get my small
tick of approval) however he also submits a lot of patches which are
little more than moving stuff around pointlessly.

I really wish he'd concentrate on the former rather than the latter.

He's not another Nick Krause.

Thanks,
