I know you guys are busy, but can I get an ACK or two on this patch, if there
are no issues with it? It's the only one of the seven that doesn't have one. I
think v2 has addressed all of the concerns raised on version 1.

Doesn't apply at all to the tty-next tree, so I can't apply it here :(

Um, where exactly is the tty-next tree? The only thing I see that looks like it
is this:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6.git
But the description of this tree says, "junk tree, please ignore".
