I can either push them to Linus as part of the ext4 patch set, or we can wait for you to push them. I thought since you had them in -mm and we were going to wait you to push them (and presume that this was going to happen soon). Alternatively I can push them directly to Linus along with other ext4 patches. We can drop the s390 patch if Martin or Heiko wants to wire it up themselves. As far as I know there hasn't been any real contention on the actual syscall patches, other than the numbering issues, so it seems that pushing them to Linus sooner rather than later is the right thing to do. I don't particularly care who pushes them, just as long as they get pushed. :-) So if you've dropped, shall I push them to Linus as part of the ext4 patches we've been planning on pushing?
