For the record, I do consider irq-pio upstream ready. It still needs to
wait for Tejun's EH work to make it upstream, to give upstream people
the test sets of
- prep EH (2.6.17-rc1)
- EH
- NCQ
- irq-pio
Since each of these sets is staged, upstream testers will be able to say
"2.6.17-rc1 works, but 2.6.18-git1 doesn't", which gives us a lot of
good info.

So for those of us anxiously waiting for the above great enhancements
it looks like it will be 5 months or so before it is in a released
vanilla kernel? ie. assuming 2 1/2 months per kernel release.
Heavens no :)
The stages above just need to be separated out by a few 2.6.X-gitX or
2.6.X-rcX releases.
Jeff
I'm confused. You just poseted:
Due to the merge window closing, the three pending patchsets will be in
2.6.18.
That sure sounds like 5 months before it is in a released vanilla
kernel. ie. it has been taking about 10 weeks per kernel release.
2.6.17 is likely to take another 8 weeks. Then 10 weeks for 2.6.18 to
come out.
Hopefully the releases won't take that long :)
