Earlier when?  I responded to your query about the individual patches
you copied me on, saying they were in my "to-apply" queue and I didn't
want them to go to Linus at this point in time.  You seem quite rushed
about these patches, which is odd to me.

Which is what I am asking you to do here.  So why are you arguing with
this concept?

Accepting trivial patches like these, for which a full build cycle of
all arches has yet to be accomplished due to a lack of inclusion in the
-next tree, at a point in the development series in which bug fixes and
regressions are the only thing to be accepted, seems to be a risk, don't
you think?

But hey, I'm not Linus, it's up to him to decide to take untested stuff
like this or not, not me :)

best of luck,
