I'm not sure if you wanted to let it soak for a few days in linux-next, or whether you want to wait another full release cycle, given that the random tree had gotten dropped from linux-next some time ago without my realizing it. (The code has actually been soaking for 1.5 releases, since I wanted to give it lots of soak time, but of course, it would have been more helpful if it actually was in linux-next. Sigh...) - Ted
