The first two, you mean? We can merge them, but we need to know that
the rest is also going somewhere. Kernel has a rule against merging
APIs without any in-tree users, so we need a commitment that the
user will also reach linux-next before the merge window :(

Christian was commenting on previous releases maybe he can take or just
review the last 4 patches?
