I've put this patch in, but please (and reviewers too, please tell
people before acking) in future,

submit patches as per the kernel's Documentation/SubmittingPatches

This patch was attached instead of inlined, wasn't in git format (not
essential but less work for me so more patches for you).

Is there other patches outstanding if so? please resend with collected reviews.

really anything that involves me taking manual steps will generally
mean I'll just drop the patch without caring with the understanding
that whoever wants the patch merged will care more than I do.

Dave.
