When this was submitted last, the opinion was that since it was post
2.6.25-rc2 and since it had Kconfig changes, this should be deferred to
the next release. However I got busy during the merge time and couldn't
resumbit this.

I believe this being a code movement, its mostly benign. But if it needs
to wait for 2.6.27, thats fine too; also given that the -mm is now based
on -next, it'll get a lot more tested.

Andrew,

What is the best way forward here? Given the code has been in -next for
a few months, and given -mm is now based on -next, will you be pushing
these changes to Linus during the next merge window? Or, do you want me
to resubmit the patchset again later in the 2.6.26-rc cycle?
