Note it will show up in my review-hans branch once I've pushed my local branch there, which might take a while. Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next merge-window.
