That is b/c it does not have your Ack. The patch applies cleanly to 3.2-rc1 (as all the other patches that it depends on are now in 3.2-rc1). I am humbly asking for you to: a) review the patch (which you did) and get an idea whether you are OK (sounds like you are) b) pick it up in your -mm tree. or alternately: b) give an Ack on the patch so I can put it in my linux-next and push it for 3.2-rc1.
