Ideally, before 2.6.22-rc1.  No set date, but generally it's a week or 
two after merge window opens.

But even if you miss -rc1, we MUST get in the ioctl removal before 
2.6.22 release.  This is certainly exception to the "nothing but bug 
fixes" rule -- or perhaps it is following the rule, if you consider the 
ioctls' existence a bug :)

Getting the CodingStyle fixes in before 2.6.22-rc1 would be nice, but, 
as I noted, lower priority than serious stuff like ioctl consideration.
