Pulled, but not merged yet (as in, not in Linus' tree).

Look, I perfectly understand that you want this in, but there is no need
to send me an email every other week asking me whether I've queued it or
not. Once Eric's stuff is in, and provided that this very patch gets
reviewed (hint: nobody has), it will be queued as a fix post -rc1.

In the mean time, please relax.

Thanks,
