Thanks. :-)

Well, the patches 1/9 and 3/9-9/9 seem to be in a good shape (2/9 needs some
more work, perhaps I'll be able to do something about it later today), but I
have to wait with them for the Russell's ARM patchset to be merged.  For now,
I'll just include them in the hibernation and suspend patchset
(http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/hibernation_and_suspend/2.6.22-rc7/patches/).

BTW, Russell, is there any chance that your patchest will be in -mm before
it's merged?  My patches will go through -mm anyway ...

Greetings,
Rafael
