My feeling is that this is too disruptive to take for 3.2 now that the
merge window is open: just adding Marc's PPI patches on Sunday caused
a number of _horrible_ conflicts crop up.  This probably is no
different.

So, let's postpone this kind of stuff until after this merge window has
closed.

(BTW, Linus won't be pulling major stuff which hasn't been in linux-next -
see the 3.1 announcement.)
