For Leon and Dennis I know they mark things, but other people seem to be sending bug fixes that are rc material without any firm indication one way or the other. I read the patches and that is my main question. Of course if they do not come in RC acceptable format then they wait in patchworks until -next is opened. > Now of course that being said here is an exception.

I marked them in patchworks, but can you review the commit messages and make sure you think Linus will see them as rc material too? Thanks, Jason
