Thanks. It is really confusing when you guys maintains an implicit order 
and posts the patches separately. I will appreciate that patches that 
are related are posted together, such that I don't have to manually 
track what comes before another. That makes it less of a pain for me to 
keep track of and we can keep the reviews together.

This is the patches that I have in the pipeline (from before the e-mails 
from today):

  - This serie - Pending review
  - Serie: pblk: support variable OOB size - Waiting on review from Igor
  - lightnvm: pblk: recover open lines on 2.0 devices. Which doesn't 
apply due to the fixes to the pad distance patch.
