The standard development process is:
* new code gets pushed to me during 2.6.X-rc
* that code is auto-propagated to akpm's -mm tree for
additional exposure
* merge window opens
* I push upstream
That ensures code gets at least /some/ additional review, testing,
"settling" time.
This is a late date to be expecting stuff to be pushed straight into 2.6.22.
Additionally, the rule for creating patches is: diff against latest
vanilla linux-2.6.git tree, unless dependencies exist in netdev. After
the merge window opens, #upstream is often empty or even a bit behind
upstream, since Linus pulls that.
