hpa was on vacation, if he doesn't pick it up I'll apply it.

There's no perf patches backlog. The ones you link to here were delayed 
because you (again) ignored maintainer review feedback:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/30/370

Not sure you noticed, but kernel subsystem maintainers are not your 
repeat-everything-a-thousand-times patch submission QA machinery.

I have no problems explaining kernel contribution basics to newbies, but 
as a long-time kernel contributor you are expected to submit patch series 
whose quality is proportional to the amount of time you have already spent 
submitting patches. I.e. the longer the time you actively spent sending 
patches, the higher quality your patch series should become.

Instead what I see from you are the same problems over and over again: 
sloppy patches, ignored review feedback.

So to protect other people's higher quality patch flows maintainers that 
deal with you frequently often have to put your faulty submissions to the 
tail of their TODO list, until you show more reliable patterns of 
behavior. I will eventually have to stop taking patches from you 
permanently, if your abuse of review feedback continues.

Instead of complaining and blaming the maintainer you should increase the 
quality of your patch submissions instead.

Thanks,

	Ingo
