Three critical patches still aren't merged in 2.6.21

Three critical patches still aren't merged in 2.6.21

I've been holding off sending these in for -stable until they're
merged, but now I wonder when that will happen.

We'll get there.  I just got off the plane.

I have all three in various stages of queuedness, but I am presently
expecting Trond to merge the NFS one.  I can send it if he wants?

Please do, and if you could also send in Peter Zijlstra's congestion
control patch at the same time, then that would be great. The latter is
partly a VM patch, so Linus will bit^H^H^Hcomplain if I send it as part
of a git merge...

Cheers,
  Trond

Feel free to send them to stable@ when they go to Linus as it sounds
like they are almost there.

Thanks,
