My honest opinion is that it is as appropriate now as it will be 2.6.31. [ I'm still amazed by the amount of *completely* bogus reasons given for not merging it. ] However it sure can wait, no big deal (though I still think that it was worth to try to get it in and not make users wait another few months). I'll let Linus decide and revise pull request if necessary.
