The "huge disorganized heap 'o patches" thing was an attempt to get Rusty to
post some kind of description or announcement for the patches (and I believe
has been in the last three or four versions unchanged), but if those either
aren't being pushed for 2.5, or he wants to do it himself and doesn't want
them to be on my list, I'm fine with that...

The IBM guys asked me to put kprobes on my list. The relationship between
kprobes and dprobes is something I had to ask about two or three times before
getting particularly clear on (since I don't use it), and what I have links
to is what they told me.

I have yet to see Linus complain that a change has been been broken into too
many pieces for him. :)
