Andi, is this some kind of "destroy your years of kernel hacking credibility within a few days" contest that you are participating in?? What you are doing is getting really silly. All ptrace cleanup patches from Roland were posted by him to lkml, and we picked them up from there. Review is ongoing, Roland replied to all feedback with more patches, and those were integrated as well. Final upstream merging of this depends on more review and test results (as usual), but it's looking good so far.
