Are these urgent-for-2.6.3 things?

We seem to be converging on a model wherein a new kernel comes out,
everyone pummels Linus with patches for a week, then we have a week of
strict stabilisation and then it repeats. During the stabilisation week,
everyone is stabilising their next pummeling in external trees. I think
it's good, and is working well.

This pull request of yours is outside the model ;)

But the model tends to mainly apply to x86: people are used to other
architectures needing additional touchups to work properly. But it
would be nice if we could fix that up.
