But it will be nice if Andrew can pick these up early so we try to get as much regression testing as possible. I pretty much agree with your ealier breakdown of the patches (ie. some are fixes, others fairly straightfoward improvements that may get into 2.6.12, of course). Thanks very much for the review. I expect to rework the patches, and things will get tuned and changed around a bit... Any problem with you taking these now though Andrew?
