Agreed with the merge window passed it'll be for next one -- but I'd
like this to sit in -next for as long as possible, so I'd appreciate
either being able to carry the patch in my tree (difficult as then
you'll need to base yourself on mine) or you putting it in there somehow
after I've got the most basic tests verified again (do you have a branch
pulled for linux-next?)

I'll try to get tests done in the next few days and check my notes for
things that were missing in the earlier version you gave me in the
past.. Sorry for not doing it myself, you're of great help.
