Patches 1-17 are noncontroversial, Raghavendra is going to send an update split into two patchsets; 2. There are at least two versions of patch 15; I think the "PATCH RESEND RFC" is the right one. 3. Patch 18 is controversial but there are performance numbers; these should be integrated in the patch description. 4. People are in general OK with us putting this patchset into -tip for testing, once the updated (V12) patchset is posted. If I'm misunderstanding something, it is because of excessive thread length as mentioned by Ingo. Either way, I'm going to hold off on putting it into -tip until tomorrow unless Ingo beats me to it. -hpa
