I want you to implement it the way David Daney said to do so.

And you never need to ask me questions like this, I clearly mark the
state of your patch:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/175750/

So that you can just monitor it instead of wasting my time asking what
is happening to your patch.

Time of mine you consume forcing me to reply to you in situations like
this, which you could handle on your own, is time that I can't spend
reviewing patches from oher people that really are ready to go into
the tree.
