Cool. Thanks!
I wasn't aware that you already sent a pull request already...
I got it from mainline now and I'm rebasing and testing
the rest of our stuff on top of it.

I'm with you on that.

For 2.6.31, I'd like to send easy-to-swallow patch sets
that we can review and agree upon well ahead of the merge window
(i.e. start, e.g. with the backchannel stuff shortly after 2.6.30-rc1
is cut) and once we're in agreement on it we can put it in linux-next
to be visible to others and get some soak time.  This will also
be a good time to freeze it, so it won't be rebased, unless something
important enough requires that.  How does that sound?

I think that the same strategy should work for the client side too.
Trond what do you think?
