Yeah, that's what I assumed would happen here. When the code in -staging 
is "good enough", Nitin would submit squashed patches for inclusion 
review and when everyone is happy, we'd merge the code including full 
history from -staging.

Btw, ramzswap and zram have been discussed openly on LKML. I guess Nitin 
should have CC'd linux-mm as well for you to see it Andrew?
