These were split from the main part 1 sequence (looking back, both by Ilpo's review at different times), because he objected to "cleanup" patches being included with "new" features. They've both been in 4 to 6 previous patch variants. (More review would be good, and I'd be more comfortable with review by somebody that could actually test this patch. That's why the CC: according to Documentation/SubmittingPatches part 13.) I'm a bit unclear on "merge window", and am unable to find information in the Documentation tree. I see that there was a message that came in the middle of my patch submission: Re: README: net-next-2.6 plans... Trying to understand the process: When I first started sending patches in early October against the -2.6 tree, I was told privately to make them against net-next-2.6 instead. Does this mean these "cleanup" patches should be made for -2.6 now?
