Can I take that to imply "Acked-by: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>" ??

It would be nice to have at least a statement like:
 These patches have been tested both with the user-space testing tool and i=
n=20
 a RAID6 md array and the pass all test.  While we cannot release performan=
ce
 numbers as the hardwere is not released, we can confirm that on that hardw=
are
 the performance with these patches is faster than without.

I guess I should be able to assume that - surely the patches would not be
posted if it were not true...  But I like to avoid assuming when I can.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
