It is in next, but gets merged after the kspp tree ... so, this is when
inter-tree dependencies are a pain - I can merge the kspp tree later,
but then you have to remember which trees Linus must merge before you
send your pull request.  That's why we like to have all trees be
effectively stand alone (as much as possible).
