So all of them should go into 2.6.24. I already had the qla2xxx one. It was sent to James a month ago with not atypical results. The advansys one is stuck in git-scsi-misc. I'll give it 24 hours and then shall send these: scsi-qla2xxx-qla_osc-section-fix.patch megaraid-fix-section-mismatch.patch cciss-section-mismatch.patch x86-discover_ebda-section-mismatch.patch tpm-infineon-section-mismatch.patch dvb-av7110-fix-section-mismatch.patch hostap-section-mismatch-warning.patch in to Linus.
