I discussed this with Phillip a bit, and it looks like we'll go for a 2.6.21 merge. This gives a couple of months for testing and review in linux-next. Of course, this assumes that someone will actually perform that testing and review. Chances are that it'll just sit there, getting nothing more than compilation testing. Apparently I reviewed the code a while back - that grey cell must have died. Does anyone else intend to review the code in that timeframe? If not, we might as well merge it now, if ever..
