I completely missed the ack at the time.

I do think the patch is fundamentally correct and an improvement.  This 
one arguably deserves a reprise of the audit I performed at the time to 
ensure that the results are still correct.  I was planning to do that in 
September (and resubmit the uid patch at the same time).

For the record, I have an internal todo list of patches that were missed 
to circle back to.  You've now caught most of them, thank you 
(websockets being the big one).  I believe I still have one or two 
patches to argument parsing on libcacard, and I do not have a patch, but 
a concern, on the removal of the spice-controller.  I also have a large 
separate patch set against the kernel providing usbredir support.

Cheers,

Jeremy
