There needs to be a sync point anyway and there's one more patchset on top of block-unify-sector-and-data_len involving ide changes (the block-peek-fetch one), so if both get acked by Jens, it would be easier to simply branch out from there. From there on, I don't expect too much disruption to ide from further block layer changes, so things should be okay. Thanks. -- tejun
