Yeah I think Ben just wants the convenience of having the non-default
code paths fixed when 3.1 comes out; but I agree we shouldn't be poking
around at all at this point.

Hopefully I'll get my kernel.org tree back up and running this week so
I can queue up the various fixes for the merge window.  I'll do another
scan and ask people to send directly to you for the 2 or 3 things we
still have open for 3.1.

Thanks,
