It would look to me like they are queued for 3.4 but Kevin says there
were intended for 3.3-rc.

Kevin might have wished they would go into 3.3, but given that the first
round of these patches had to be reverted, I thought it safer to wait
for 3.4.

Sorry for the churn on these, but I guess we weren't expecting you to
apply the first before it got some testing/acks.  Sorry about that.

Don't send me anything, saying it needs to get into the -rc merge
window, that you don't actually want to see merged.  Otherwise, how long
am I supposed to know to wait?  That's just looney.

The version you have currently queued is needed for v3.3 as they fix
brokenness on v3.3.  Any chance they can be applied queued for 3.3?
We'll have another set of enhancements on top of those that are
targetted for v3.4, but those you have queued currently are defintely
fixes.

At this point in the release cycle, I would prefer to wait.

But, after they go into Linus's tree for the 3.4-rc1 merge, send the git
commit ids of the patches to stable@vger.kernel.org and they can get
merged to the 3.3.y tree to make things better there.

thanks,
