This summarises my current thinking on various patches which are presently
in -mm.  I cover large things and small-but-controversial things.  Anything
which isn't covered here (and that's a lot of material) is probably a "will
merge", unless it obviously isn't.

What happened to:

        remove-last_rx-update-from-loopback-device.patch

Davem rejected it.  hm, I can't find the email trail - it was cc'ed to
netdev@oss.sgi.com mid-March, but nothing seems to have been sent back.

It was dropped in 2.6.12-rc1-mm4 with a status of "merged" but it's not
in either 2.6.12 or 2.6.13-rc1.

And in general, who is tracking whether things are being lost?

Things don't get lost.  I have a habit of misremembering the disposition of
patches when preparing -mm release summaries.
