I've never managed to understand how the timing of your cycles works
exactly, and I really just work on the "send it when you can" principle.
To be honest all I really know is that stuff is going in now, and that
I think this stuff of mine is ready to go.

I really hope this can be merged in soon (for 2.6.27).  I do think its
impact is low.  The sooner this goes in, the sooner arch folks can round
out all their bits and the more time folks like me can spend on actually
making something new and interesting happen in this area.

I am happy to do whatever merging/rebasing work helps that happen the
soonest.  If there is a different GIT tree to branch a rebase from,
that is easy for me to do.


Thanks,
Roland
