You sent those patches after the merge window closed, which was
publicly announced on the driverdevel mailing list, and the merge window
for 3.2-rc1 only opened up a scant few days ago, so not hearing from me
is to be expected, right?

If you note, I have not merged _any_ 3.2-rc1 patches into any of my
trees yet due to the above mentioned short time frame, and due to other
higher priority issues (i.e. my real job and bugfixes for 3.1).

No, they are all still in my queue to be applied when I get to them.
Realize that LinuxCon is next week so it might be a few weeks before I
get to any 3.2 patches which is fine, we still have lots of time.

You can always send more patches, I can handle them.

After I apply them all, and the 3.2 work settles down, I'll be glad to
review them again, please be patient, I have:
$ mdfrm -c ~/mail/todo/
584 messages in /home/gregkh/mail/todo/
$ mdfrm -c ~/mail/staging-todo/
839 messages in /home/gregkh/mail/staging-todo/
to get through.

Your hyperv patches are at the bottom of the staging-todo pile for
various reasons that I'm sure you are aware of.

thanks,
