Ping again.

Since there has been no comments for the past 3 weeks, I'm assuming 
everyone is happy with this series.  With 4.12-rc7 out, and Linus saying 
it looks good, it seems likely that the merge window is going to open 
next week.  We really want this in 4.13.

Would you please confirm that the series will be pulled into 4.13?
