What's the status of this patchset? It seems it didn't make any progress
in the past few days, or am I missing something?

Just asking, because the thing is: I'm pretty sure that Linus will be
somewhat unhappy if there isn't any attempt to get this fixed before
rc7, as the the problems caused by these patches are known for a while now.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
