As far as I know the master version is sitting in -mm.  This thing has
gone on for so long and with such large intervals between activity that
I've forgotten what the outstanding issues are, if any.

I have a note here that Christoph had requested that the pps header
file be split in some fashion (user and kernel?) but that doesn't
appear to have happened in my copy of the patch.

Probably it would be best to start again, resend the patch with 1000 cc's,
re-review and actually get it over the line.
