Linus did not pull this in the -rc1 to -rc2 timeframe so please resubmit the patch serie one week into the next merge window (when most of the trees has hit linus' tree and Andrew has made his first merge). IF you need an extra eye balling then you can submit a few weeks before the merge window opens. Thats typical after an -rc with only a few patches.
