OK, that may be a problem.  Does this patch apply to Linus' tree
currently?  I guess not.  So, either you need to split it up and send it
to the various maintainers (most if it can probably go through the trivial
tree (cc'd)).  Or wait until after v3.8-rc1 and fix it so it applies to
Linus' tree and send it to him.
Or Andrew (cc'd) may be able to take it (as his tree is based on
linux-next currently).
(I have attached the patch for Jiri's and Andrew's benefit)

It applies with offsets to Linus' current git, actually. I can provide a
diff applying with no offsets, but suspect it's unnecessary. The
affected comment blocks don't seem to have experienced much turnover
recently, if ever.
