Unfortunately, they grew out of their home so they didn't have proper path to linux-next but I wasn't that careless. The two patchsets went through three and four revisions. percpu-convert-most-archs-to-dynamic-percpu http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/3818 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1083895 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/839059 x86-percpu-fix-pageattr-handling http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/3825 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/844298 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/836771 > If this doesn't mean "you missed 2.6.31" then what does? > > Yes, things like this can be messy and hard to develop and maintain > outside the merge window.

It used to go through x86 and this was me realizing that nobody was gonna take care of these patchsets and prepping trees myself in a hurry. Won't happen again. Thanks. -- tejun
