That's a bit unlikely considering we're probably only a day or so away
from a 2.6.37 kernel release.  It takes time to go through the
linux-next and code inspection process.

I can add them to scsi-misc with a cc stable (at least for the ones that
are bug fixes):

This is an update not a bug fix

This is an update, not a bug fix

This patch seems to contain half the branding stuff from 5/10 ... please
separate them

A code cleanup is not a bug fix.

So that's 1-3 bug fixes, rework 5,6 so it becomes a clean separation
between enhancement and bug fix and 7,9 are bug fixes.
