Thanks, it's a pretty trivial merge.

It was posted today for discussion, which didn't seem to happen.
It has been unit tested a lot in SuSE's kernels with review from our
kernel developers (hence the 3 signed-off-bys). We use it to speed up
booting a lot because we have to use an initramfs (like all distros need
to for various reasons.) It aleviates the udev coldplug issues a lot,
and the embedded developers have been very happy to see this (for some
reason they only like writing private emails, not to the list, which is
unfortunate.)
thanks,
