Yep. I didn't submit my full patches to Linus for the 2.0.31 kernel, just
the obvious and the showstopper stuff. I didn't submit anything on my
abort/reset fixes because they are fairly new. If you want those fixes,
then you'll still need my patches. I'll be putting together a new patch
either by this weekend, or after the official 2.0.31 is released, I haven't
decided which yet (my last patch set has conflicts with the latest kernel,
so unless you know what you are doing, you'll have trouble dealing with the
rejects). Of course, available time will impact when I make my next patch
set as well......
