OK, I was afraid of this, but, yes, I can drop it. I am not quite sure
what affect this will have on Andrew's tree, though (hopefully not too
much).

This is a bit disappointing. Dave's stuff have been sitting in
linux-next for quite some time (probably too long) so it is not as if
Kent and Jens (should) have been unaware of it.

Presumably not before v3.14, right?
