Part of the time were spent trying to reach Siano for their comments. This were
added on my queue on Aug, 19, after our unsuccessful trial of contacting them.

Unfortunately, I had a bad time having to rebase my -git trees, removing some
patches there in order to fix a conflict related to arch patches sent via
my tree.

You don't need to worry since they'll be send in time for 2.6.31.

I'm currently merging the pending patches on my tree. I should be sending a
pull request upstream by the end of the day or tomorrow.

If you just send it directly, you'll break my tree, and cause troubles on the
upstream request for some other patches for 2.6.31



Cheers,
Mauro
