Ah I remember you mentioning that before. Is Nick's work still active?
The link you sent me to the "latest status" was nearly a year ago:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/27/311

... and while the github link you sent:

https://github.com/ndyer/linux/commits/for-next-20140316-v8

... has much more recent activity, it hasn't been touched /that/
recently either.

To be honest, it'd be a bit off-putting to hold up a trivial patch
series like this and make it wait for a huge refactoring series that's
obviously been dragging on for a long time...
