I can't tell much about Ira's patches, but, in the case of the ReST
conversion, there are not much left to convert anymore. The vast majority
of files under Documentation/*.txt are already in ReST format. They just
need to be renamed/moved to a better place. Besides that, there are
the fs patches on this series, network and a few misc text files.

I have patches for the remaining stuff already.
