But why do you think these patches should be merged? f7d2b1e, 7762741 are
probably OK to go but don't have much sense without the rest. The other
patches do not have any Acked-by or Reviewed-by from anyone and I don't
think they are really obvious enough to not deserve some.

Sorry I overlooked the Acked-by/Reviewed-by principle, which is
definitely good practice to follow. However given that Linus has
merged the patches and they do look like pretty safe changes, we may
consider watch and improve the algorithms based on them.

  :-| Well, at least c42843f and 1a12d8b do not look "pretty safe" to me.
But when it already happened, let's work with what we have.
