Yes, a couple of patches have already been taken by their maintainers over the last few cycles. > eg.

They are largely independent and shouldn't really change anything without the following patches. > Is patch 1 stand alone? Essentially, yes, but patch 5 depends on it seeing it's changing the same area and is trying to avoid creating the same kbuild warnings that patch 1 suppresses. > The other option is to ask Andrew Morton to take it, as he often carries > these cross-tree type series. Thanks for the tip! I'll copy him when I repost it after the merge window. Logan
