Queued and pushed, thank you both!

With respect to -next, travel plans next week are causing me to instead
update my rcu/next branch to the merge point of all of this coming
merge window's pull requests.  Though it only makes a difference of a
few days, as I would normally pull rcu/next back the Monday before the
merge window opens.

There is some possibility that I will be off the grid for extended periods
next week, which shouldn't make any difference for nolibc, aside from my
possibly being unresponsive during that time.  The odds of an emergency
fix to last merge window's changes are quite low this late in cycle,
and I will be back before the next merge window opens.

Just let me know what I need to pull in, and I will do that early the
week after this coming one.  Or you can buffer it up and send me one
big series upon my return, your choice.  Either way works for me.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul
