I've got your patch queued in the latest NFS4_ALL, and I believe I
already pushed it to Andrew (so it should already be in the latest
2.6.3-mm). I'm aiming to push it into 2.6.5-preX as soon as Linus
releases the final version of 2.6.4...

You are of course free to send stuff directly to Andrew/Linus, but I
personally would prefer if you attempt to queue it through me, since
that allows for a more ordered development process. Fixing up a set of
30 patches in order to accomodate some minor change that went directly
into the main kernel can be very time consuming, so it makes it easier
for me if we just append stuff to the NFS4_ALL patches (unless, of
course, we are talking *critical* fixes).

FYI: you can for the moment assume that *all* patches that are in the
http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/Linux-2.6.x subdirectories are being
queued for inclusion in Linus' kernel. Only if a patch shows serious
problems under testing will it be dropped.

Cheers,
  Trond
