ALSO, could you please confirm the path by which this patchset will find its way upstream? I see from your blog [3] that after you apply it, I should be able to see it in sfr's linux-next tree [4] which IIUC sfr pulls regularly from your staging-next tree [5]. And I think at the next merge window, YOU will provide the pull request to Linus included with any other staging drivers? Is this all correct? Sorry for the driver-staging-newbie question but your blog entry is 2 years old and I'd like to (1) ensure that I don't drop some important task *I* still need to do and (2) be able to track the progress of zcache through the various trees as a self-educational exercise.
