Now so that I am completely sure, because this has been Acked by Alan,
this means that I can submit a patch that relies on this one?

Yes, I'll queue this patch up in my tree in a bit, and you will get an
email saying where it is and what is going on with it.

Does that mean that if all goes well the patch could find itself into
the rc for 3.8?

Yes.

Or does it take longer than that?

Nope.

See the email you get for when the patch is applied for more
information.  If you have questions about it after that, please let me
know.

thanks,
