I posted these patches before, about 2 months ago. Unfortunately I didn't CC
you at that time, so they slipped under your radar.
But the patches did receive public testing even before that, when they entered
Geoff's ps3-linux.git tree.

Should that git tree be in the -mm lineup?

That may be a good idea! Geoff?

Sounds good.

ps3-linux.git is used by a lot of active PS3 developers, so
already gets some good testing on PS3, but I think if we get
the stable patches into -mm, then we will get more testing on
non-PS3 platforms, which is something I think we need.

As a start, I'll work toward getting patches from ps3-stable
into -mm.  I think it is too late now for the 2.6.25 patches,
so the 'for 2.6.26' ones.  To make this work, we (PS3
maintainers) need to get our patches moved from ps3-wip to
ps3-stable in a timely manner.  As of late, it seems patches
have lingered in ps3-wip too long.
