Right. The patch series has been idle for a long time so I assumed it
was going to be picked up for this merge window, but given how close
we have gotten I think we're past this now.

That's fine, I am just trying to get some clarity on whether anything
else needs to be done for this to be in a mergeable state.

I have been slightly pinging the series and/or resending every once in
a while, trying not to be too annoying :) Hopefully Andy will voice
his opinion.
