No problem.  I'll go apply your patches later today or tomorrow, so
don't think I'm ignoring them.

Oops, I moved my bk trees, and didn't tell anyone :(

The tree previously at bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/usb-2.5 is now at:
	bk://kernel.bkbits.net/home/gregkh/linux/gregkh-2.6
I don't know if there is web access to that tree or not, sorry.

I'm also staging the i2c patches to send off to Linus at:
	bk://kernel.bkbits.net/home/gregkh/linux/i2c-2.6

Oh yeah, it's beyond time.  Just that Linus has been in australia for
linux.conf.au this past week or so.  When he gets back (don't know when
that will be yet) I will send him the tree.

Heh, I had that same idea a few days ago, and already did it in my trees
with the following patch.
