Yes, sadly it was not in time. And of course it's no excuse, that you didn't received a real pull-request, even after Kyle asked for feedback for his tree with his mail on LKML and parisc-list on 2009-09-28: http://www.pubbs.net/kernel/200909/123965/ > So now you come in after the merge window has been closed for over a week, > and want to do a parisc merge? > > Tell me why I should take this.

This patch really only touches parisc-specific files and it includes important fixes without which the parisc kernel won't even compile and link. So, it would help us parisc-porters a lot if you could do an exception and still pull from Kyle's tree, even after this merge window has been closed. At least, it would make me personally very happy...
