Sure.  I was given the impression that Linus was going to be asked to
merge this tree during this merge window, so I assumed that it had been
seen by the appropriate people.  Most of these patches include you,
Linus and Andrew (among others) on their cc's and they seem to have
gone through several revisions.

I guess Mathieu has jumped the gun.

I'll drop it again tomorrow.
