It's in my backlog queue. Waaaay back. The -rc1 merging and kermel summit put me way behind (again) and when I'm way behind, I start to work in reverse order (mainly to avoid looking at older versions of patches). And when I'm working in time-reverse order, things which were sent a long time ago get delayed even more. The good news is that the longer I take to merge something, the less likely it is that I'll actually merge it ;) Either it got shot down or a new version came out or someone else merged it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
