yup. It's about halfway back in the -mm queue, and I usually don't start
sending the bulk of the -mm patches until halfway through the merge window
(because I have dependencies on subsystem trees, some of which are often
distressingly sluggish).

So the ETA on this one would normally be 1.5 weeks.

In which case I'll move

rework-pm_ops-pm_disk_mode-kill-misuse.patch
power-management-remove-firmware-disk-mode.patch
power-management-implement-pm_opsvalid-for-everybody.patch
power-management-force-pm_opsvalid-callback-to-be.patch

to head-of-queue.

As long as it all compiles. It often turns out that things in this area
have dependencies upon the latest gregkh rampage. We'll see.
