Regarding patchwork patch #28003

Regarding patchwork patch #28003

[Chaitanya Lala]

Hi,
I have been facing the issue of the kipmid's CPU usage spiking since a long time.
I have tested the patch sent by Martin (limit CPU time spent in kipmid (version 4)) and it solves the issue for me.
I do not see any activity/feedback on the patch.
Can I help in some-way to ensure that this patch is merged ?

Thanks & Regards,
Chaitanya

I will add this to the patchset I put out for 2.6.30, and if that goes 
well it will go into the mainstream kernel.

Yes, I picked up the latest one you mailed.

I was skeptical, but I have to say that it works very well.  This is 
definitely going in, assuming no one else reports any problems.

I'm dealing with some issues with changes in the serial driver, 
hopefully I'll have those out of the way today and can get a patch set 
out after some testing.

Thanks,
