Tejun, please don't commit patches to other tree without an Acked-by 
from the maintainer (which I wouldn't have provided, as the right way to 
go would have been a topic branch).

Fortunately these patches are at the bottom of your tree.  If it's okay, 
I'll just pull from there "as if" you had provided a topic branch all 
the time.

Thanks,
