Looks great to me - I have it saved away.

I prefer not to add new material during the merge window prior to MM
being fully merged up.  In fact, I think this might be against
Stephen's rules-for-linux-next.  Even during the merge window,
linux-next remains the testing ground for Linus's "next" release,
so adding next+1 material will weaken that testing.
