Hi Sam,

Thanks for adding me to the discussion.

Yes I'd like to, just not sure if people are still testing and
checking the commits.

And I haven't sent seperate fix just for stable fix before, so can
anyone teach me, should I send only two patches for a minimal change,
or send a whole series (with some minor clean up patch as dependency)
for minimal conflicts? Or the stable team can just pick these up?
