And you never need to ask me questions like this, I clearly mark the state of your patch: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/175750/ So that you can just monitor it instead of wasting my time asking what is happening to your patch. Time of mine you consume forcing me to reply to you in situations like this, which you could handle on your own, is time that I can't spend reviewing patches from oher people that really are ready to go into the tree.
