Dave,

There are some rdma patches for 2.6.27 which are dependent on few 
networking patches (below), so Roland can't push them before the net 
changes gets in, such that enough time has to be left for the rdma push 
before the merge window closes...

I'm pushing to Linus this coming Sunday.

I wanted to do it sooner but my tree isn't in a state where I can
merge it just yet, and Linus is going away for 3 days starting
Thursday.

I'm sorry if this makes things difficult, but it's the best I can
do at the moment.

thanks for the update, I believe this will leave Roland enough time to 
do his push,
