I'm only collecting patches for scsi, but James remains formal maintainer, so
I don't send anything to Linus. Given that delays between me committing
things, them getting picked up by James and finally making it to Linux-next I
don't feel like another for-3.16 branch at this point is easily workable.

If James wants to cherry pick it and send it on at this time that might
still work fine, but he seems fairly busy.
