AFAICT, Linux 4.2 is not yet > out and therefore the merge window for Linux 4.3 is not yet opened. Because: a) There's nothing suitable to apply yet (need a v4 series) b) The merge window opens this weekend (probably). c) What's currently queued for 4.3 has been tested and no further tests can be run until next week (when Boris or Konrad get back). FWIW, "mm, xen/balloon: memory hotplug improvements" has also not been queued for 4.3 for similar reasons (despite this series being ready 4 days ago and it having been more extensively tested inside XenServer).
