Which is problematic for me.. Sorry about my silence for now three months. Been overly busy and with family now extended to three kids takes time too. I will be back in a months time - maybe a bit sooner. As for the Kbuild area I usual have patches cooking in -mm for a while before pushing to you - comments are usual few when I post patches which I take as a sign that most people do not care about Kbuild as long as it works, other are not into the makefile trickery, and also that the patches are small logical steps (which is true for all contributions and not just mine).
